Chef's Note
For the best flavor, look for avocados that are ripe but still firm enough to hold their shape during baking. If preparing ahead, you can cook the bacon and scramble the eggs the night before, then assemble and bake in the morning. The acidity from the tomatoes provides a perfect balance to the richness of the avocado and eggs.

Ingredients
5 whole large avocados, ripe but firm
15 slices thick-cut bacon
10 whole large eggs
1/4 cup heavy cream
1 cup sharp cheddar cheese, shredded
4 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
10 whole cherry tomatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons fresh chives, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
to taste hot sauce (optional)
Instructions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- 2
Cook 15 slices of bacon in a large skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 8-10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess grease. Once cooled, chop into small pieces.
- 3
Cut the 5 avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits. Using a spoon, scoop out a small portion of the avocado flesh to create a larger cavity for the filling. Chop the scooped avocado flesh and set aside.
- 4
Arrange the avocado halves on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they sit flat. If needed, slice a small portion off the bottom of each avocado half to create a stable base.
- 5
In a medium bowl, whisk together 10 eggs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
- 6
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until eggs are softly scrambled but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.
- 7
Remove the eggs from heat and fold in the chopped bacon, reserved avocado flesh, 3/4 cup of the shredded cheddar cheese, and 3 sliced green onions.
- 8
Spoon the egg mixture into the avocado halves, dividing it equally among them. Top each with the remaining 1/4 cup of shredded cheese.
- 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully set.
- 10
While the avocados are baking, mix the quartered cherry tomatoes with the remaining sliced green onion and 1 tablespoon of minced chives.
- 11
Remove the avocado boats from the oven and top with the tomato mixture. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of minced chives and serve immediately with hot sauce on the side if desired.
