Keto Avocado and Egg Baked Boats
Enjoy a simple and satisfying keto breakfast with these baked avocado boats. Filled with creamy egg and topped with your favorite seasonings, they are a delicious and nutritious way to start your day.
Ingredients
- 2 medium Avocados
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tbsp Bacon bits
- 2 tbsp Shredded Cheddar Cheese
- to taste Salt
- to taste Pepper
Preparation
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Scoop out a little of the avocado flesh to create a larger cavity for the egg. This is important to prevent overflow during baking.
Assembly
Place the avocado halves on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Crack an egg into each avocado half. Sprinkle with bacon bits, shredded cheddar cheese, salt, and pepper.
Baking
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg is cooked to your liking. The egg whites should be set, but the yolk can still be slightly runny.
Serving
Carefully remove the avocado boats from the oven and let them cool slightly before serving. Garnish with additional bacon bits or fresh herbs if desired.
