Eyleen says
Hi there, I tryed them a few days ago and to be honest I really don't know what is all the fuzz about these creation. I LOVE Avocado but heated up all the yummie taste is gone. In addition the egg is a little bit like rubber on top where the egg white got hard.
Am I doing something wrong? All the images I saw in the net look so yummie. I wished it would taste as good as it looks π
Tina says
Hi Eyleen, Yep.. it is true, some people don't at ALL like the taste of avocado heated up while some do, that's totally understandable as it's personal preference. However, my egg white wasn't rubbery, so I'm not sure why that is... the only thing I can think of is (if you want to try again) maybe you can turn down the heat or not bake it for as long. Remember to add some spices on top to flavor it too!
Amanda says
I agree... I much prefer to top some buttery scrambled eggs with slices of fresh avo and s&p rather than heat the avo.
Jeannie says
If you slice a small piece of the skin to make a flat spot on the round part of the avocado half, they stand upright on their own. Delicious,,
Sara says
This was a great idea. I decided to switch it up a little and used just egg whites scrambled with a bit of cheese and bacon bits...yumm!
rlr says
Use a foil covered muffin tin to keep them upright!
Tina says
True! That is a great idea!
MC @ Nourish Paleo Foods says
Oh, this looks so yummy!
I often have fried eggs and avocado, but this is much cuter. Nice idea!
Tina says
I like the cuteness of it too π I probably wouldn't be making this everyday as it takes longer than to fry eggs than to bake it in an avocado, but it's a cool idea for if I ever want to impress people with a cool looking breakfast!
