Keto Friendly Baked Avocado Eggs in a Basket

Y’all know how much I love heating up avocados, … avocados take on an enhanced smoky flavor, and a creamier, buttery texture when they’re heated up, and it’s worth the wait, y’all.  Seriously, y’all, if you haven’t heated up your avocados, what are you waiting for?

Baking an avocado with a bit of hot sauce and egg… oh. my. word.

This is such an easy dish to make, and requires just a few ingredients that you already have:  your favorite hot sauce, eggs, avocados, salt and pepper.  You can add bacon and tortillas, if that’s how you roll.

If you like your yolks a little runnier, you’ll cook them a couple minutes less, if you don’t like your yolk intact, you can whisk the eggs before pouring them into the avocado basket.

  7. I just made this for dinner. I’m mostly vegetarian, but also keto so I subbed the bacon for some cheddar and Parmesan, and it was awesome! I was going to try to wing something like this myself, but wasn’t even sure if it would work. And I wouldn’t have thought to add the hot sauce. That was absolutely clutch, and this is now my favorite keto food.
