how to make Breakfast Stuffed Avocados

Ingredients

  • 3 ripe but not mushy avocados
  • 6 eggs
  • 6 slices bacon (cooked and crumbled)
  • 1 medium-size russet potato (peeled and shredded or one cup frozen hash browns)
  • 1 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons canola oil

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350°F.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a small frying pan over medium heat. Add the potatoes in a thin layer, season with salt and pepper. Cook until crispy on the bottom, then drizzle in the other tablespoon of oil and turn the potatoes. Season again with salt and pepper. Cook until crispy and browned. Remove to a plate lined with a paper towel to drain.
  3. Cook and scramble the eggs over medium-low heat until just barely set and a little runny.
  4. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pits. Using a spoon, scoop out a well in the center of each avocado. Place the avocado halves in a baking dish and fill with equal amounts of scrambled egg.
  5. Equally divide the cooked hash browns on top of the scrambled eggs, then top with crumbled bacon. Sprinkle all over with the cheese.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 5-10 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked. Serve hot.
