Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 4 small eggs
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 teaspoon paprika or chili flakes (optional)

Toppings (Optional)

  • Chopped chives or parsley
  • Shredded cheese
  • Cooked bacon bits


Instructions

  1. Preheat Air Fryer: Set the air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the avocados.
  2. Prepare Avocados: Scoop out a small amount of the avocado flesh from the center of each half to make enough room for the egg to fit comfortably.
  3. Stabilize Avocado Halves: Place the avocado halves in the air fryer basket. Use foil rings or small ramekins to keep the halves stable and upright if necessary.
  4. Add Eggs: Crack one small egg carefully into each avocado half, taking care not to break the yolk. If needed, crack the egg into a bowl first and spoon just enough egg to fill the space.
  5. Season: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and paprika or chili flakes over the eggs as desired.
  6. Air Fry: Cook in the air fryer for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and yolks reach your preferred level of doneness.
  7. Garnish and Serve: Remove the avocado eggs carefully from the air fryer. Top with chopped chives, parsley, shredded cheese, or bacon bits if using. Serve warm for the best flavor.

Notes

  • Use small or medium eggs to ensure they fit inside the avocado halves without overflowing.
  • If the egg white overflows, crack the egg into a separate bowl and spoon in just enough to fill the avocado cavity.
  • Foil rings or ramekins help keep avocado halves stable in the air fryer and prevent tipping.
  • Adjust cooking time slightly based on your preferred yolk consistency.
