A super nourishing, super filing and a super delicious breakfast/brunch recipe of baked eggs along with some cherry tomatoes and avocados that comes together so easily
This baked eggs with avocado is my go to recipe for when I am very hungry and very lazy. And this is generally my story on the weekends. A late start on a weekend and a lavish brunch ready in under 30 minutes sounds dreamy right? Not anymore. Moreover, there are so many variations to a staple baked eggs recipe that you will never tire out eating them. In my recipe, I have added avocados, cherry tomatoes, spring onions and mozzarella, besides the eggs. You can only imagine, how fulfilling these baked eggs would have been! We paired them with warm, buttered sourdough toasts along with some freshly brewed coffee. On a chilly, grey morning like that of the past weekend, we couldn’t have asked for anything better!
Now, I love avocados and the baked ones taste phenomenal, too. So, if you haven’t yet tried that out too, you certainly need to give this wholesome and yummy recipe a try. Additionally, eggs for breakfast/brunch is a great idea for me since I always have them in my fridge. Therefore, I don’t really have to wrack my brains the first thing in the morning to figure out what to feed the hungry soul! Moreover, the baked eggs recipe comes together so effortlessly that you won’t even feel you’ve lifted a finger to cook. And all this without even adding any extra spice or special herbs. All that I have used here are salt, pepper and some chili flakes. While you can add any flavouring agent, herbs and spices that you want, even the basics work excellently.

Baked eggs with avocado
Equipment
- Oven
Ingredients
- 5 eggs
- 1 ripe avocado thinly sliced
- 500 g cherry tomatoes cut in halves
- 1 cup spring onions finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic minced
- 1 tbsp chilli flakes optional
- 1 tbsp black pepper freshly crushed
- ½ cup mozzarella cheese optional
- 2 tsp lime/lemon juice
- 2 tbsp chives finely chopped
- 1 tsp chilis finely chopped (optional)
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- sea salt to taste
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, take the cherry tomatoes and mix them with some sea salt and pepper. Let it sit for 5 minutes
- Heat the olive oil in a cooking pot, add in the spring onions, garlic and the cherry tomatoes. Mix well and cook over medium heat for 5-7 minutes and then remove from flame
- Grease two medium, oven proof dishes with some olive oil. Divide and spoon in the sautéed tomato-onion mixture in them, top it off with the cheese and then break the eggs over them
- Apply the lime juice to the avocado slices, place them over the egg whites and sprinkle over the salt, pepper and chili flakes (if using). Bake in a pre heated oven at 200°C for 10-12 minutes and then remove
- Garnish your delicious baked eggs with avocados with the chives, chilies and serve fresh and warm with toasted bread or just as is. Enjoy!
Notes
- The time to bake, will depend upon how well done you like your egg yolks to be. I like mine throughly cooked so 12 minutes are enough. In case you like them runny, bake the eggs for lesser time
- Some flavours that you can add are dried herbs like oregano/Italian mixed herbs/garam masala etc to flavour the tomatoes in step 2, as well
