Ingredients
2 avocados
2 tbsp. butter, divided
4 large eggs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1/4 c. shredded cheddar
2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled
2 green onions, sliced
Preparation
Step 1Cut avocado in half and remove pit. Lay avocado halves on their sides and carefully cut lengthwise into 2 thick slices each. Hollow out middles with a paring knife.Step 2In a large, nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Place avocado slices into skillet and crack an egg into the center. Season with salt and pepper.Step 3Cover skillet and cook until egg is cooked to your desired doneness, about 5 minutes for a just runny egg. Sprinkle cheese on top of each slice, cover with lid again and cook until the cheese is melted, a minute more.Step 4Repeat with remaining ingredients. Garnish with bacon and green onions.
In order to fit the egg, you’ll need to cut a bigger hole in the center of each avo. Dice up the scraps and use it for garnish! Also, don’t freak out when the egg whites inevitably spread everywhere in the pan. They’ll get super crispy, which is a nice contrast to the creamy avocado and runny yolk.
