Ingredients

  • 2 avocados halved, pits removed
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup low-fat shredded Mexican cheese
  • 1/4 cup salsa

Instructions

Stepwise Method: Low-Carb Avocado Breakfast Cups

  • Start by preheating your oven to 425°F (220°C). This ensures that your Low-Carb Avocado Breakfast Cups will cook evenly and thoroughly.
  • Carefully cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. If the holes are not deep enough to hold the egg, scoop out a little extra flesh to create more space.
  • Sprinkle sea salt and ground black pepper inside each avocado half. This adds flavor to the avocados, enhancing the overall taste of your breakfast cups.
  • Crack one egg into each avocado half. If you prefer your yolks less runny, you can beat the eggs lightly before adding them to the avocados.
  • Sprinkle shredded Mexican cheese over the eggs and spoon a little salsa on top of each. This will create a delightful blend of flavors as the eggs cook.
  • Place the avocado halves in a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your liking. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
  • Once baked, remove the Low-Carb Avocado Breakfast Cups from the oven. Allow them to cool for a minute before serving. Enjoy them warm, and feel free to garnish with additional salsa or herbs if desired.

Notes

  • Choose ripe avocados that yield slightly to pressure for the best texture.
  • Experiment with different spices or herbs to customize the flavor to your liking.

  • Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to two days and reheat gently to avoid overcooking.
  • Try different cheese varieties like feta or cheddar for a flavor twist.
