Ingredients

Ingredients for 4 servings but can scale up if more servings are needed

  • 4 ripe avocados
  • 8 eggs
  • Salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes, to taste
  • Add your favorite toppings, if desired (see * Note)

Instructions

  • Prepare The Avocados. Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Slice off a small part of the bottom of the avocado so it stands firmly in the bottom of your Dutch oven.
  • Preheat The Dutch Oven. Preheat a 12-inch camp Dutch oven to 425°F. You'll need a total of 31 coals (placing 21 on top of the lid and 10 below the bottom of the oven). If you are using a different size Dutch oven, check out our Dutch Oven Temperature Chart to determine the number of coals you need.
  • Prepare The Eggs. Scoop as much avocado flesh out to ensure the whole egg fits into the hole. Lay each avocado half on a flat surface, crack one egg at a time into a small bowl, then use a spoon to transfer the yolk into the hole in the avocado. Try not to break the egg yolk, then add the remaining egg white. Top with salt and black pepper and red pepper flakes. Repeat with each egg and then place all of the eggs into the pre-heated Dutch oven at the same time. Be careful not to spill the eggs as you transfer them to the oven.
  • Bake The Eggs. Bake the avocados for 15-20 minutes. Rotate the lid 1/4 turn clockwise and the bottom 1/4 turn counterclockwise about every 5 minutes or so, you want to make sure all of the eggs are cooking at the same rate. When the whites are set, they’re done.
  • Serve The Eggs. Optional toppings: hot sauce and salsa.

Notes

*NOTE: We like adding a bit of hot sauce to our morning meals. If you want to make your baked eggs in avocados even more substantial you may want to add a few tablespoons of salsa, shredded cheddar cheese, sliced green onions or chives for even more flavor.
