Simple Baked Avocado with Eggs and Bacon

I love avocado and believe that you can add it to pretty much any dish. If you’re like most people, you’re probably eating more avocado than ever before. But how much of this fruit should you be eating each day?

To answer that question, let’s take a look at what’s in avocado from a nutritional standpoint. Yes, avocado has a fair amount of fat content; however, it’s monounsaturated fat, the healthiest kind. Depending on size, a single avocado supplies somewhere between 250 and 280 calories. That’s a lot of calories, especially if you are adding it to a dish. Of course, eggs have benefits too. They contain a lot of high-quality protein and the turkey bacon is low in calories.

My rule of thumb? Even though it is healthy and good for you, half of an avocado a day is just enough. Even with healthy foods, you have to consider portion sizes. So when making this simple and delicious baked avocado with egg and bacon, share it with a friend!

Besides adding avocado to meals, like this recipe, you can make avocado the meal! It’s super easy to pop into the oven while you multitask on busy mornings and fills you up nicely, making an easy and nutritious breakfast. I hope you enjoy it!

What do I need to make this recipe?

Avocado is filled with fiber, supporting your digestive system, and potassium, regulating your fluid balance.

Eggs fill you up with protein and selenium.

Turkey bacon has less calories than pork bacon and is leaner.

Scallions are rich in vitamin B2, supporting your metabolism, and vitamin K, supporting bone health.

Along with those ingredients, you will need extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper.
