Pinbusters is a new series where I take crazy popular pins & see if they really are as great as they look…check out the rest of my Pinbusters videos here!
As a die hard lover of both runny eggs & avocados the thought of cooking one INSIDE the other just about blew brain completely apart. Poof! Gone. Except before I could run naked through the green covered hills shouting my joy of this new breakfast fare my skepticism started to kick in. Wait a minute, avocados get mushy when you cook them. And how is the egg going to be heated through well enough to cook within that thick avocado wall?
Hmm…only one thing to do…
I did end up trying these again & they were a little prettier second time around…just remember, bigger avocado & smaller egg.

The only way I have ever heard of doing this is by baking, not frying in a skillet. Because you still want the egg to be runny, the bake time is short enough that the avocado doesn’t turn to mush. You don’t put a hole in the bottom, you leave it like a cup and let the egg sit in it. Then salt and pepper and some cheese on top. About 425 for the amount of time required for your preferred doneness.
Hm, I’m totally going to try it like that next time. I love the idea of cheese on top!
Genius! I am going to try this ASAP!
I make these sometimes. Usually instead of dropping an egg into the hole I mix up omelet ingrediants in a ziplock bag. Cut the tip off when mixed, and squeeze into the center avacado hole. SO insanely delish! I do them in the oven rather than skillet.
Ooooo, that’s a fantastic idea! Thanks Lyn!
I LOVE your Pinbusters series, you have such a great on-camera personality! I laughed out loud at the “stupid cat” comment at the end, because it sounded exactly like me. My 3 yr old has even picked up the saying, I say it so much.. oops!
I good, whew, I’m glad it’s not just me! I told P, peter are going to think I’m a cat hater!
Thx for doing this! I, too, have been curious about that pin. I do love avocado & eggs so I may just give it a go now 🙂 Love the cat comment at the end. I’ve got a cat & say the same things 🙂
Awkward question: but what nail polish color are you wearing?! Adorbs!
Ha! Not awkward at all, I always feel like my eye is drawn to people’s polish colors too. Not sure the name but I know it’s from the Gelish Harmony Gel Polish line…sorry!
Natasha, I couldn’t figure out how to comment on the wrong post. Would it be totally akward if I said long time reader first time poster ala frasier? Anywho….
I have some plain wooden bowls like the one you posted about, I’m totally going to diy those bad boys with some neon paint for the patio. Thank you ikea for my 6.00 awesomeness!
YAY! You’re so welcome, please hit me up with some pics after you do it!!! natasha@littlepinkmonsters.com
That looks wonderful. I had a question about your pan- I noticed it was stainless and I’m interested in putting a set on my wedding registry but my mom is trying to convince me otherwise saying how long they take to clean. I just dont think teflon can be all that safe, and thats why im leaning towards stainless. Do you like yours? Is it hard to clean? Thanks in advance!!
Hmmm…I do like mine a lot but I go back and forth between that one and my stainless sautee pan that has a non-stick coating. We have an induction stovetop so stainless is a that works with it. All that to say, yes, I do like it! I bought mine from Amazon at a GREAT price, it’s the cuisinart green line…hope that helps, congrats on the wedding!!
you now why i love you so much? because you always chose the pin’s that I would love to try but dont have the time! thanks for sharing your time!
Yay!! I was a little worried I might be the only one who really wanted this pin to work, so glad you were into eggs & avocados too! Maybe I’m not weird! (or we both are at least) (;
i googled this and i found this website….. maybe this will help
