Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Eggs
- 2 ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 4 small eggs
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- Olive oil spray
- Chopped chives or parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat the air fryer: Set your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to preheat while you prepare the avocados.
- Prepare the avocados: Scoop out a small amount of flesh from each avocado half to create enough space to hold an egg securely.
- Season and spray: Lightly spray the avocado halves with olive oil to prevent sticking and place them steadily in the air fryer basket.
- Add eggs: Crack one small egg into each avocado half, allowing any excess egg white to spill over slightly if needed.
- Season eggs: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika over the eggs for flavor.
- Air fry: Cook the avocado halves with eggs in the air fryer for 8 to 10 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and yolks reach your preferred doneness. For firmer yolks, extend cooking time up to 12 minutes.
- Garnish and serve: Carefully remove the avocado eggs from the air fryer, garnish with chopped chives or parsley, and serve immediately.
Notes
- For firmer yolks, cook for up to 12 minutes.
- Try topping with shredded cheese, hot sauce, or crumbled bacon after cooking for extra flavor.
- Use medium or small eggs to fit better inside the avocado halves.
