Every once in a while, we come across a dish that checks every single box—nutrient-rich, low-carb, super satisfying, and somehow ridiculously easy. That’s exactly what happened the first time we made these Keto Avocado Egg Boats.
We had a couple of ripe avocados and a few eggs left in the fridge, and we were in the mood for something a little different. A little slicing, scooping, and baking later—and boom. These little boats were born. They quickly became one of our favorite ways to start the day.
There’s something magical about the way the creamy avocado pairs with a soft-baked egg. Add a sprinkle of crispy bacon, a dash of hot sauce, and a pinch of cheese, and it’s basically the breakfast version of hitting the keto jackpot. We love these on slow mornings when we want something warm and nourishing but don’t want to dirty a bunch of dishes.
And the best part? These egg boats are as customizable as they are delicious. Keep it simple or load them up with your favorite toppings—it’s all good.

Ingredients
Instructions
Prep the Avocados
-
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Scoop out a small amount of avocado flesh from each half to make enough room for the egg.
Crack the Eggs
-
Place the avocado halves in a baking dish, using foil or ramekins to keep them stable. Carefully crack one egg into each avocado half. If the eggs are large, you may want to discard a little egg white to avoid overflow.
Season & Bake
-
Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Bake for 14–16 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are still a little runny (or cooked to your liking).
Top It Off
-
Remove from the oven and sprinkle shredded cheese and crumbled bacon over the top. Return to the oven for 1–2 more minutes to melt the cheese.
Garnish & Serve
-
Finish with chopped chives or parsley and a few dashes of hot sauce if you like heat. Serve immediately.
