Description

Baked Avocado Eggs with Turkey Slices is a quick, nutritious, and delicious breakfast or brunch recipe featuring creamy avocados halved and filled with eggs, then baked to perfection alongside savory turkey slices. Enhanced with optional spices like paprika and red pepper flakes, this dish offers a wonderful balance of protein and healthy fats, perfect for a wholesome start to your day.

Ingredients

Scale

Avocado and Egg Mixture

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 4 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)

Turkey and Garnish

  • 4 slices deli turkey (or lean turkey breast)
  • Fresh parsley or chives, chopped (for garnish)
  • Olive oil (for greasing)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the oven and baking dish: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Grease a small baking dish or oven-safe skillet lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  2. Prepare the avocados: Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pit. If the well where the pit was is small, scoop out a little extra avocado to make enough space for the egg.
  3. Assemble the avocados with eggs: Place the avocado halves in the greased baking dish, ensuring they sit stable. Crack one egg into each avocado half, seasoning with salt, pepper, and paprika if using. Sprinkle red pepper flakes if you prefer a slight kick.
  4. Add turkey slices: Arrange the turkey slices around the avocados in the baking dish to warm up during baking.
  5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly runny, or cook longer if you prefer firmer yolks.
  6. Garnish and serve: Once baked, remove from oven, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley or chives, and serve immediately while warm.

Notes

  • You can use smoked or flavored turkey slices for additional taste variations.
  • If you prefer fully cooked yolks, bake for an extra 3-5 minutes, checking frequently.
  • For a dairy-free version, ensure your deli turkey contains no added cheese or dairy products.
  • This recipe can be doubled or adjusted to serve more people; just use a larger baking dish.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator and gently reheated.
