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.

Love this! I thought baking an egg in an acorn squash was a pretty smart move on my part, but you’ve taken things to a whole new place.
Treats? For me?!?! See you tomorrow!!!
AHH NO WAY! I just made the recipe, but mine is not the exact same! I’m going to post it, but I just want you to know that I am not copying you in the least bit, hun 🙂
Have a great weekend <3 LOVE YOU
I can’t wait to see yours!!! Looks like we need to have brunch together soon 😉
This looks incredible!!!!!
Plans for the weekend: We are currently on our last camping trip of the season. I’m done, it’s time for Fall to start 🙂
This sounds like the perfect little dish for brunch! It’s so interesting, I haven’t seen eggs and avocado together like this anywhere! Very original!!
This is awesome! I am not a huge fan of avocado, but I have never tried it baked with egg and cheese! It looks delicious this way 🙂
omg. that looks DELICIOUS!!!
Delish Liz! I am a fat fan over carbs so this combo looks like a winner to me every day! Hope you have a great long weekend!!
I like the sound of this – I’m not the biggest fan of avocado but I reckon baked + egg + melty cheese = heaven!
Yum! Thank looks so good. I think it would be great to do veggie-scrambled eggs inside the avocado too. Like maybe with some tomato and spinach. I’m inspired!
That would be fantastic! I’ll have to try that next time. Thanks for the suggestion! 🙂
i’ve baked an egg in an avocado before!! it was neat!
