I love avocado, especially the huge ones we have here in Florida because they taste more buttery to me. I also love bacon and eggs, so today I combined the three and made stuffed, baked avocado bowls. It was really good.
I am going to try to put down some semblance of a recipe here, but go with your own preferences because that's all I did.
Ingredients:
avocado
2 eggs
cayenne pepper
cooked and crumbled bacon
diced tomato
fresh chives
salt,pepper and cayenne to taste
cheese - optional (I used a little horseradish cheddar)
Directions:
Oven temp- 350
Cut the avocado in half, remove seed and scoop out the meat into a mixing bowl, being careful not to tear or puncture the avocado shell because you will use this as a baking bowl.
Mash up the avocado with a fork, then add crumpled bacon, diced tomato, shredded or diced cheese, and the above seasonings to taste then mix well. Scoop mixture back into the shells.
Next, you can either make a little bowl like indention in the mix and crack and egg in each half then bake for 15-20 minutes. Or you can fry or poach your eggs and then add to the top of the avocado bowl near the end of baking. I prefer to do the latter because I find baked eggs to be too rubbery for my tastes. Sprinkle the tops with a little shredded cheese and fresh chives when you remove the bowls from the oven. Again, the cheese is optional and can be left off if you do not consume cheese.
I hope everyone had a great holiday!
