Baked Avocado Egg Boats

- 4 large eggs
- ¼ cup freshly grated Gruyere
- ½ red bell pepper finely minced
- 1 Tbsp. finely minced parsley
- Salt & Pepper to taste
- Optional: ¼ cup bacon pieces
Instructions
- All ingredients ready? Let's begin!
- Preheat the oven to 400 °F and prepare a baking dish.
- Cut the avocados in half and remove their pits. With a spoon, remove about 1.5 to 2 tablespoons of avocado flesh from the center to create a well big enough to fit an egg. It should be about 3 tablespoons in size.
- Place the avocado halves cut side up onto the baking dish, then crack an egg into the center of each avocado. Be careful not to break the yolk.
- Season with salt and pepper and bake for 7 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and sprinkle with grated cheese on top (and optional bacon pieces). Bake for another 5-10 minutes or until the egg is how you like it. See Notes & Tips for reference.
- Serve with minced parsley and diced bell pepper sprinkled on top.
