Avocado Egg Bake Ingredients
- 1 avocado (halved and seeded)
- 2 small eggs
- 1/4 tsp smoked paprika (optional)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Preheat Air Fryer: Preheat your air fryer to 390°F (200°C) to ensure it reaches the ideal temperature for even cooking.
- Prepare Avocado Halves: Cut the avocado in half and remove the seed. Using a spoon, scoop out some of the flesh inside each half to enlarge the cavity so that the egg can fit fully without spilling over.
- Season and Add Eggs: Lightly season the inside of each avocado half with salt and pepper. Crack one small egg into each avocado half, taking care not to overflow.
- Air Fry the Avocado and Eggs: Place the avocado halves carefully in the air fryer basket. Cook for 10-15 minutes, depending on your preferred egg doneness. Check at 10 minutes for runnier yolks, longer for firmer eggs.
- Finish and Serve: Once cooked, remove the avocado halves and season again with salt, pepper, and optionally sprinkle with smoked paprika for added flavor. Serve immediately.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to hold the egg well during cooking.
- Cooking times may vary slightly depending on your air fryer model and egg size.
- For a runny yolk, aim for about 10 minutes; for fully cooked yolk, cook closer to 15 minutes.
- You can add other seasonings such as garlic powder or chili flakes for variation.
- This recipe is naturally gluten-free, low-carb, and suitable for keto diets.
