Loaded Southwest Baked Avocado Egg Boats
I made these several mornings in a row, they taste fabulous. Highly recommend all the extra toppings, it adds such a great flavor all together. Also, I high recommend using an extra large avocado if you are using a large egg so the whole egg will fit into the avocado. I made a few with a large avocado and the large egg didn’t fit very well. You probably go with a large avocado and a medium egg as well. Either way, give it a try your taste buds will not be disappointed.
Ingredients:
Avocado
Eggs
Bacon bits
Smoke Paprika
Garlic Salt
Ground Pepper
Onion Powder
White Onion
Jalapeno
Sour Cream
Directions:
Preheat: Preheat your oven to 350°F.
Prep the Avocado: Slice the extra-large avocado in half and remove the seed. Use a spoon to gently scoop out just a little bit of the flesh from the center of each half to create enough room for an egg.
Set Up for Baking: Tear off a square piece of aluminum foil, lightly coat it with cooking spray, and place the avocado halves right in the center.
Add the Base Layers: Season the inside of each avocado half to taste, then sprinkle a layer of bacon bits into the bottom of the center holes.
Wrap in Foil: Gently form the aluminum foil around the base of the avocado. This helps with even cooking and you can use the aluminum foil to create a prop so the avocado stays in the center completely level.
Crack the Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into the center of each avocado half. Top each one with a few more bacon bits and another light pinch of seasoning.
Bake: Place in the oven and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
Top and Serve: Remove from the oven, garnish with finely diced jalapeño, white onion, a dollop of sour cream, and any other toppings of your choice.
