Pro tip: Grab avocados that just yield to pressure—too soft and they’ll collapse like my willpower near fries.
🔪 5-Step Game Plan
- Heat wave – Pre-heat oven to 400 °F (200 °C).
- Scoop & dock – Halve the avocado, pop out the pit, and scoop a tablespoon of flesh so the egg fits. (Snack on the extra—chef’s tax.)
- Wrap it up – Spiral the bacon slice around each avocado half like you’re tucking it into a meat blanket.
- Egg drop – Crack the egg into the hollow. If it overflows, you’ve got a cool “fried egg halo” situation—roll with it.
- Bake & flake – 15 min for runny yolk, 18 min for set. Broil the last 60 sec if you like bacon extra crispy.
🎨 Remix Ideas
- Spicy Fiesta: Add a pinch of chili powder and top with cotija after baking.
- Herb Garden: Sprinkle fresh chives or dill before serving—makes you look fancy.
- Cheese Lover: Slide a thin slice of pepper jack under the egg. Melty magic.
- Meal-Prep Mode: Bake four boats on Sunday, reheat 30 sec in the microwave Monday morning. Still delish.
💪 Health Perks (No Lab Coat Needed)
- Keto kudos: Virtually zero carbs, fat macros on point.
- Brain fuel: Avocado’s monounsaturated fats keep neurons firing.
- Protein punch: One boat = 11 g protein; two boats = “gym gains.”
❓ Rapid-Fire FAQ
Can I air-fry these?
Yep—380 °F (193 °C) for 12 min. Bacon shrinks a bit more, but cleanup is a dream.
Bacon sliding off?
Secure each end with a toothpick. Remove before serving unless you like surprise splinters.
Make-ahead hack?
Wrap and store raw boats in the fridge overnight. Pop in the oven while you brew coffee—zero morning brain cells required.
🔥 Final Bite
These bacon-wrapped egg & avocado boats turn “I overslept” into “I meant to brunch.” They’re stupid-simple, wildly satisfying, and Instagram-ready without even trying.
So yeah, if your breakfast still comes from a cardboard box, it’s time to level up. Give these boats a spin tomorrow morning—your future, non-hangry self will send you a thank-you text. 😉
