3. Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions & Crisping Secrets
The secret to this recipe is to not overfill the avocado halves with the egg mixture.
This allows the egg to cook evenly and the avocado to retain its creamy texture.
Also, don’t be shy with the garlic powder – it adds a depth of flavor that complements the eggs perfectly.

Step-by-Step Culinary Timeline
1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a small bowl, whisk together the eggs, salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
3. Spoon the egg mixture into the avocado halves, dividing it evenly between the two.
4. Place the avocado halves in a cast-iron skillet or air fryer basket, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) space between each half.
5. Drizzle the olive oil over the avocado halves and sprinkle with shredded cheddar cheese (if using).
6. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through and the avocado is tender.
Meal-Prep Storage & Crispy Air-Fryer Reheating Guide
• Cool Before Sealing: Let cooked portions cool for 10 minutes before sealing in glass containers so steam never softens the crust (keeps 4 days in the fridge).
• Sauce on the Side: Store dips, drizzles, and fresh herbs separately until right before serving.
• 3-Minute Crispy Reheat: Reheat in a 380°F (193°C) air fryer or dry cast-iron skillet for 3–4 minutes to restore shatteringly crisp edges.
