This idea came to me on a whim, because I love eggs, and I love avocado, and I love smoked salmon.
This recipe is very rich, creamy, and flavorful. It’s hardly a recipe at all because the steps are simply to halve the avocados, carve them out (not too much), line them with smoked salmon, dollop in the egg and bake until firm. Garnish with red chili flakes and dill, then eat warm. Done!
One small confession: this is the first time I’ve eaten avocado warm, but I like it. I can’t decide if next time I’ll make some coconut-flour buns to smear this on, or enjoy these baked eggs in avocado straight out of the avocado skin again.
Note about the yolks getting overcooked by the time the whites are firm: if this is an issue for you, cook the egg whites and yolks separately. Combine the egg whites in a bowl, season with salt and pepper. After hollowing out the avocado, spoon in the egg whites, being careful not to fill to overflowing (since the egg yolk will be added later).
When the whites are almost completely set, delicately slide the yolks right on top. The yolks will still be soft after 5-10 minutes more of baking and the whites will be set, too!

AshleyHooray! Your Indian Pulled Pork looks legit, btw. My compliments…

AshleyVery good! Very rich!
What do I do with 2 halves already cooked?
Too full to eat any more right now.

Mo??? Read the instruction again.
Ginny
AshleyAgreed! And same here : )
Jo
AshleyLol

AshleyThis sounded good but it wasn’t.
Lauren
Such a good idea! I’ve seen the egg + avocado combo but adding the smoked salmon makes it so much better.
Fresh Planet Flavor
LaurenI was worried the taste would be over-the-top if I combined all three, but nope! Just yummy.
Carrie
Fresh Planet FlavorI don’t eat fish in any way do you think prosciutto would work instead?
Fresh Planet Flavor
CarrieYes, prosciutto would be a great alternative!
Taryn
LaurenSkip the chili flakes, and sprinkle with red wine vinegar for zing!
Fresh Planet Flavor
TarynWow, great suggestion!
james
TarynI am going to try with bacon bits on top.
Liz Ross
LaurenI hate smoked salmon, what else can I use?
Fresh Planet Flavor
Liz RossCanned salmon would also work!

LisaYour comment seems quite correct!! I can’t find 1 SINGLE REVIEW that even begins to give ANY idea of how this dish actually TASTES!! Almost every comment is how it looks. I’m FAR more interested in how good a dish is, how much people liked how it TASTED, what they liked, what they might change etc. I’m TRYING to choose recipes based on how much I might enjoy EATING them, NOT turning them into photo subjects. I thought this website was about FOOD not photography or plate presentation potential for 5 star restaurants!!
NOR could I find any way to post my comment directly to the Author of this recipe!! Just wanted to say how VERY right you turned out to be!!!
Fresh Planet Flavor
TheJeffness021Hi! If you’d like to comment directly to me, just scroll all the way down to the bottom of the page and leave a message in the comment box. But obviously, I see and monitor replies to other people also.

My modification to keep the avocados cool, assemble the avocados with the salmon, Poach the eggs, place poached eggs in the avocados with the salmon, top with salt, dill, red and black pepper as you like.
no piney taste with cool avocados.
Grok Grub
Geoffrey ZeamerHmmmm can’t say I’ve ever experienced a piney taste with baked avocados, but your version sounds delicious!
Bumpire
Geoffrey ZeamerThe avocado tasted bitter after cooking. 🙁
I’ll try poaching the eggs, and leave the avocado cool.
★★★
Grok Grub
BumpireArgh, really? Sorry to hear it.
Barbara
Geoffrey ZeamerI might try the poaching the eggs first. Mine were not done in 20 minutes when I cooked them in the avocados’. I hate undone egg white. I cooked them longer, but the yolk got too done and browned on top…….any suggestions??

I have not seen any feedback when actually having tried the recipe. My experience with trying to cook eggs in the oven, no matter what “vehicle”used, has been pretty discouraging. It takes a really long time to cook the eggs and, when placed in an avocado, it probably will overcook the avocado.
Grok Grub
FranMay cook it too long for your liking. Impossible to tell without trying it.

This looks fabulous, but because it’s a fruit, avocado should NEVER be heated; heat destroys its healthy properties (read “Fit for Life,” written in the 1980’s by Marilyn Diamond and Harvey Diamond). I might make this, but not with the avocado warmed at all; I’d cook the egg, and I’d heat the tuna (salmon allergy) in the residual warmth of the pan, but I won’t heat the avocado.
★★★★
Fresh Planet Flavor
JoyceThanks for the tip, the science is from the 80’s and hasn’t been debunked yet?
Buzz
Fresh Planet FlavorNot all old science needs debunking… in fact I would say that the money driven science of today is what we need to worry about when it comes to health and nutrition sciences. Enough about that… can’t wait to try these gonna make them right now looks delicious… I may keep the avocados cool though
Fresh Planet Flavor
BuzzThe cynic in me suspects science has been driven by money for the past century or longer. Certainly as far back as the 80’s. But! By all means, keep your avos cool.

Hi Grok, I love this recipe! It’s my go-to breakfast especially on those days that I want to give myself an extra boost of energy. Especially for my husband and daughter who are gluten-free and Paleo, this breakfast has been a home run.
Since I have a lot of readers who eat Paleo diet like us and also weight loss minded women constantly on a look out for a great low-carb breakfast, I shared your recipe on my site here http://fitwirr.com/health/tips/paleo-recipes in hope of being a great resource to them.
Thank you for the great recipe and sharing it on your site.

Woohoo. I love each one of this ingredients separately but never tried this combo. I would eat this at any meal of the day, not only breakfast.
Laura House
The baked Avocado eggs are wonderful. It is just me, so I cut a large avocado in half and added the egg, topped with smoked paprika and a slice of bacon cut into 3 small pieces on top. I didn’t have any salmon. I cooked it in my toaster oven for 20 minutes on 425 degrees. Came out perfectly and so delicious. I’m hooked and will eat this more often because I love avocado. Thanks for the simple and yummy breakfast recipe.
