1. Keto Avocado & Egg Bowl ( Yield: 2 Servings )

Ingredients

• 1 large avocado

• 2 eggs

• 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese

• ½ tablespoon chopped parsley

• Salt and pepper to taste

• A touch of chopped fresh tomato

Instructions

Preheat the oven:

Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures the eggs cook evenly once placed inside the avocado halves.

Prepare the avocado:

Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit. Using a spoon, scoop out a bit of the avocado flesh to enlarge the cavity so there’s enough space to hold the egg.

Position the avocado halves:

To keep the avocado stable while baking, place each half in a small baking dish or muffin tin. If the avocado doesn’t sit flat, gently slice a thin layer off the bottom to create a steady base.

Add the eggs:

Crack one egg at a time into a small bowl. Slowly pour the yolk and some of the whites into the avocado cavity. Depending on the size of your avocado, you might not need all the egg whites.

Season and add toppings:

Sprinkle salt and pepper over each avocado half. Top with grated Parmesan cheese for extra flavor.

Bake to perfection:

Place the avocados in the preheated oven and bake for 12–15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness. For a runny yolk, bake closer to 12 minutes; for firmer eggs, bake a few minutes longer.

Garnish and serve:

Remove the avocados from the oven and let them cool slightly. Sprinkle chopped parsley and a touch of fresh tomato on top for color and freshness. Serve warm.

2. Tips for Perfect Keto Avocado & Egg Bowl

When making this dish, choosing the right ingredients and cooking them carefully makes all the difference. Here are some helpful tips to achieve the best results:

Select ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape during baking. Overripe avocados tend to become too soft and mushy in the oven.

If the avocado half isn’t standing firmly in the baking dish, use ramekins or support the halves by leaning them against each other so the egg doesn’t slide out or leak. Note: You will need to 20 minutes when using ramekins

When cracking the egg into the avocado, do so gently to avoid breaking the yolk if you prefer a runny center. 

For added flavor, consider sprinkling paprika, or chili flakes before baking. You can also add cooked bacon bits or diced ham for a protein boost.

Serve immediately for the best texture and taste — baked avocado is most enjoyable warm and fresh from the oven.

3. Frequently Asked Questions

Can I prepare this dish ahead of time for the next morning?

It’s really best when freshly baked—while some components like garnish can be prepped ahead, the avocado will oxidize (turn brown) and the texture of the egg and avocado is best fresh.

Can I cook this in an air fryer instead of the oven?

Yes! You can air fry the avocado and egg halves at 375°F (190°C) for about 10 minutes. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking the yolks.

What if my avocado cavity is too small for the egg?

If the cavity around the pit is too small, simply scoop out a little more avocado flesh to enlarge the space so the egg fits in without overflowing.

Is this dish suitable for a keto diet?

Yes — with the avocado’s healthy fats and the low‐carb nature of the eggs, this makes a keto-friendly breakfast option that is both satisfying and low in carbohydrates.
