These keto avocado egg cups are a powerhouse breakfast: creamy avocado pairs perfectly with protein-rich eggs for a satisfying, low-carb start to your day. Ready in under 15 minutes.

  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
  • 1 tsp black sesame seeds
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: crumbled bacon or feta for added flavor

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Scoop out a bit more avocado flesh from the center of each half to create a larger well; place halves on the baking sheet.
  3. Crack one egg into each avocado half.
  4. Drizzle each with olive oil and melted butter; season with salt and pepper.
  5. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly soft.
  6. Remove, sprinkle with chives and sesame seeds. Serve warm.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, omit butter or use coconut oil instead.
  • To add more protein, top with cooked crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
  • Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent over-squishing during baking.
