Bake for 15 minutes or until the egg is cooked.
Garnish with chopped scallions and enjoy!
Expert Tips
- You can cook the eggs until the whites are set and the center is runny for the perfect sunny-side-up egg. Be sure to keep an eye on them while they’re baking!
- You can serve Avocado Egg Bake with a side of fresh fruit or toast for a well-balanced meal. They are a great on-the-go breakfast, too.
- If you want to fit more eggs into the avocado center, you can scoop out some of the avocado flesh to make a bigger well in the center of the avocado. That flesh can be used on avocado toast!
