Ingredients
  

  • 1 avocado
  • 2 slices of bacon
  • 2 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • optional: fresh chopped parsley for garnish
  • optional: shredded parmesan cheese for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Slice an avocado in half and remove the pit from the center.
  • Using a spoon dig out a bit around the center of the avocado halves to form a bigger dip in the center. This will hold your bacon and eggs while they cook.
  • Cook 2 slices of bacon until they are not quite done.
  • Tear each piece of bacon in half, and place two halves into the middle of each section of avocado.
  • Place the avocados onto a greased baking sheet, or you can turn a muffin tin upside down, and place the avocados in the indentations between the cups to hold them steady.
  • Carefully crack an egg into the center of each avocado on top of the bacon.
  • Bake for 10-15 minutes depending on how you like your egg cooked. If you want the yolk to be runnier, then cook on the lower end of the timeframe. If you would like a more solid yolk, you can cook your avocado on the higher end of the timeframe. Be sure the whites are set and cooked through before serving.
  • Top with salt and pepper to taste, as well as fresh parsley and parmesan cheese as garnish if desired.
