Erin @ Miss Scrambled Egg says:

I've seen this type of meal online before, but have never tried to recreate it. The photograph is making me want to bake one up right now.

Alexis says:

Could this be done in the microwave? If so, how long should I cook it? I would love to make this for lunch at work.

Cyd says:

I'm sure it could be done in the microwave. We have only made it as the recipe directs. Let us know how it turns out! :)

Ashley says:

Best way to ruin an avocado! I love avocados, and thought this recipe looked really cool and fun! Takes way longer than 15 minutes to cook and even then the egg wasn't fully cooked. Also, something about the flavor changes in the avocado itself when you bake it. I know it wasn't a rotten avocado because the scooped out parts still taste great. Once it was baked it tasted awful! I'm not one to waste food, but I couldn't finish this. I will never make this again!

Glenn Sauder says:

This is delicious and filling. Might want to cook a bit less if you like your yolks a little runny. Especially tasty with salsa.

Jessica says:

This was really good. I was concerned the taste would change it didn't but it was different for me having avocados baked. I ended up putting the egg and avocado mixture on my toast with jalapeño jelly and it was amazing! I will definitely make this again!

Paula says:

I absolutely love this! Saw where someone on Yummly had trouble keeping the cups upright, so I shaved just a tad off the bottoms to make them flat. Worked perfectly. Quick and easy, scrumptious and filling. Works well in toaster oven. Thank you, Six Sisters—you have a new fan!

Cobra says:

Half a lemon is too much. It didn't taste good, next time I'd do it without the lemon. Also the egg didn't fit even though I carved the avocado properly, still the egg spilled quite a lot, so part of them got to waste. It did look good when baked, I must say, but next time I'll just eat the eggs and the avocado on their own.

Isabela says:

This recipe looked so cute and easy. Unfortunately, the flavor did NOT match the beautiful aesthetic. Something about baking an avocado makes it taste absolutely awful. Ruined two eggs and a perfectly good avocado. :( For a much yummier version make a poached or fried egg and put it inside an uncooked avocado, add some lemon, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste!

Shu miller says:

I envisioned this very problem! Now there are two of us!!

Kacie says:

I’ve made this SO many times. It’s one of my go to breakfast recipes.

Momma Cyd says:

So glad you liked it! We love it too.
