These Breakfast Stuffed Avocados are a flavor packed, low carb breakfast option that start the day off right! Egg, crumbled bacon, and shredded cheese combined….what more can you ask for?!
A few mornings ago, my hubby was in the mood to make breakfast. Since I am not a huge breakfast fan, I wasn’t too motivated to throw ideas out, but I didn’t need to. He knew exactly what he wanted to make for us and asked me to keep an open mind. Yes, I sound quite picky, but I promise I’m not, haha!
Before long, I saw him grabbing avocados, eggs, bacon, and cheese. Curious, I watched him put these stuffed avocados together in no time and put them out on the smoker. *If you don’t have a smoker, feel free to use a grill!
The egg cooked perfectly inside of the avocado! With cheese melted over the egg and crumbled bacon on top, it was incredibly flavorful! Not only that, but its low carb and definitely kept us both full until lunchtime!
My hubby used crumbled jalapeno bacon for an added kick, but any type works! Even a shortcut of bacon bits will work! You can add diced tomatoes, maybe some Feta cheese, or any other toppings you desire!
Perhaps with the weekend heading our way, these Breakfast Stuffed Avocados are just what you need! Kick the weekend off with a flavor packed meal! Also check out my other breakfast recipes HERE!

What is the consistency of a baked avacado? Is it mushy? I’m drawn to try this recipe but I don’t think I’ve ever had avacado cooked. Am I missing out on something fabulous?
Kristin
It’s not really mushy, its warm and basically tastes like a ripe avocado. Squishy avocado, mixed with the egg, cheese, and bacon. Its surprisingly good!!

Please clarify-did you hubby smoke this recipe or grill it? If he smoked it, did he use a special flavor of wood chips for the smoke? We have an electric smoker and a pellet smoker plus a grill. I’m sure my hubby would prefer to use the pellet smoker but I’m just interested in the wood chip flavor.

My hubby did smoke this on his Traeger (pellet smoker) using mesquite pellets. It was quite tasty!!
Michelle
Hi. How long and at what temp did he smoke it?
Kristin
375 degrees for about 15-20 minutes!
