Avocado Egg Cups
These avocado egg cups are an easy, low carb breakfast idea! Made with avocado for healthy fat, eggs for protein, and a little cheese to add flavor, this recipe is simple but satisfying!
While I don’t normally share a lot of low carb recipes, this was a fun one to try and I thought you might enjoy it! This would be a great keto breakfast recipe, if that’s your thing.
How to Pick an Avocado
Look for a large, round avocado for this recipe. The larger round avocados will have a bigger pit, which will give you the perfect spot to nestle your egg. Your avocado should be soft but not mushy. Avoid avocados that are bruised or have overly soft spots.
