Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cut 1 medium avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and gently scoop out a small amount of flesh to create a deeper cavity. Place each half cut-side up in a small oven-safe dish.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 2 slices smoked bacon and cook for 3-4 minutes until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 minced garlic clove to the skillet with the bacon fat and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Crack 2 large eggs into the skillet, spacing them apart, and season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper.
  5. Step 5: Cover the skillet and cook for 4-5 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks remain runny.
  6. Step 6: Top the avocado halves with the eggs and crumbled bacon, then serve immediately.

How do I store leftover Sautéed Eggs in Avocado with Smoked Bacon?

Can I substitute ingredients in Sautéed Eggs in Avocado with Smoked Bacon?

For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Sautéed Eggs in Avocado with Smoked Bacon for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
