Ingredients
- 2 large avocados, halved and pitted
- 4 large eggs
- 8 slices sugar-free bacon (Pederson’s or Applegate recommended)
- ¼ tsp sea salt
- ¼ tsp black pepper
- Optional: chopped chives or parsley for garnish

Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone mat.
- Wrap the Avocados: Scoop out a little of the avocado flesh to create space for the egg. Wrap each avocado half with 2 slices of bacon, securing the ends with toothpicks if necessary.
- Add the Eggs: Place the bacon-wrapped avocados on the baking tray. Carefully crack an egg into each avocado half. Sprinkle with salt, pepper, and optional seasonings.
- Bake: Bake for 15–18 minutes or until the egg whites are set but yolks are still slightly runny (or longer if you prefer fully cooked yolks).
- Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh herbs and enjoy.
