Keto Air Fryer Avocado Baked Egg Recipe
Introduction
This Keto Air Fryer Avocado Baked Egg is a quick and nutritious breakfast perfect for low-carb diets. Creamy avocado pairs beautifully with a perfectly cooked egg, all made effortlessly in an air fryer.
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado
- 1 large egg
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Your preferred seasoning (optional)
Instructions
- Step 1: Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. If the hole left by the pit is small, scoop out a little extra avocado to create enough room for the egg.
- Step 2: Crack one egg into the hollow of each avocado half, being careful not to overflow.
- Step 3: Season the egg and avocado with salt, pepper, and any other preferred seasoning.
- Step 4: Place the avocado halves in the air fryer basket. Cook at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes, or until the egg reaches your desired doneness.
- Step 5: Carefully remove the avocado from the air fryer, let it cool slightly, then serve immediately.
Tips & Variations
- To keep the avocado stable in the air fryer, use a small piece of foil to create a little stand if needed.
- Add toppings like chopped herbs, shredded cheese, or hot sauce for extra flavor.
- Try baking eggs in avocado halves with bacon bits or smoked salmon for a heartier meal.
Storage
Store leftover avocado baked eggs in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. Reheat gently in the air fryer or microwave, but note the avocado texture may soften.
How to Serve
Serve this delicious recipe with your favorite sides.
FAQs
Can I use a regular oven instead of an air fryer?
Yes, bake avocado halves with eggs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 12-15 minutes or until eggs are cooked to your liking.
What if my avocado bowl is too small to hold the whole egg?
Scoop out a bit more avocado flesh to enlarge the cavity so the egg fits without spilling over.

Ingredients
Ingredients
- 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
- 2 large eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- Optional: paprika or chili flakes for seasoning
Instructions
- Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. If the hole left by the pit is small, scoop out a little extra avocado flesh to create enough space for the egg.
- Crack the Egg: Carefully crack one egg into each avocado half. Make sure the yolk stays intact and fits well inside the cavity.
- Season: Sprinkle salt, black pepper, and optional spices such as paprika or chili flakes over the eggs and avocado for added flavor.
- Air Fry: Place the avocado halves in the air fryer basket. Air fry at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-12 minutes or until the egg whites are fully cooked but yolks remain slightly runny or cooked to your preferred doneness.
- Serve: Remove carefully from the air fryer and serve warm. Enjoy immediately for the best taste and texture.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to hold their shape while air frying.
- Cooking times may vary depending on air fryer model and egg size.
- For firmer yolks, increase air frying time by 1-2 minutes.
- Add fresh herbs like parsley or chives as a garnish for extra flavor.
- Use an egg separator if you want to avoid yolk breakage when cracking eggs into avocado.
