Take your avocado toast to the next level with halved avocados stuffed with eggs, Canadian bacon, and chives. They’re a luxurious way to start the day and make it easy to feed a crowd with little effort.
When I first saw a recipe for baked avocados, I was skeptical. There was something about warm avocado that seemed like a bad idea. Then I remembered that avocado tempura is amazing, and I love avocado eggrolls. I gave them a try and haven’t looked back.
Something magical happens when you bake avocados. The flavor mellows and gets really buttery and the meat becomes ultra creamy. (It’s a great way to use avocados that are still a little underripe.) You can eat them with a spoon, but I prefer to spread them on whole grain toast for a little added texture.
When my friends at Jones Dairy Farm asked me to create a few recipes to help them celebrate National Breakfast Month, I knew I wanted to share the stuffed avocado love.
For this simple recipe, I stuffed the avocados with Canadian Bacon and eggs. I pulled them out of the oven just before the egg yolks set – I like them thick, but still a little runny – and topped them with snipped chives for a little added brightness.
You can find my recipe for these Canadian Bacon + Egg Stuffed Avocados on the Jones Dairy Farm site.
Disclosure: I created this recipe for my client, Jones Dairy Farm. Thank you for supporting the brands that keep me inspired in the kitchen.

09/09 at 3:26 pmDo you have the nutritional value information for this?
Lauren Keating says
09/09 at 7:49 pmHi Tara, I haven’t calculated nutrition information for it, but I really like the calculator through myfitnesspal.com. It’s really easy to use and shows you a breakdown by ingredient so it should be easy to spot if something looks “off” (online calculators can be pretty wonky sometimes)

09/09 at 1:22 pmWell I think baked avocados sounds like a great idea! I just started liking avocados about a year ago because I had them in a soup once and it was fabulous! This looks like the perfect lunch!

09/08 at 9:44 pmI had no idea that underripe avocados would work for baking. Next time I accidentally open one (I can’t be the only one who does that, right?) I am so trying this. YUM!
Lauren Keating says
09/08 at 10:06 pmDefinitely not the only one – I do it all the time! (More often then not, probably…)
Paula - bell'alimento says
