Oh, avocado. How do we love thee? Let us count the ways: We love you in our sandwiches, we love you on our salads, we love you on our burgers. In fact, we love you so much that we’ll happily pay up the extra $2 it costs to add guac to our Chipotle burrito.
If you can’t tell, we love avocado a lot. Which is why we’re all for eating avocado in the a.m. hours. Packed with healthy fats and B vitamins, this ultra-nutritious fruit makes a tasty addition to your breakfast spread. Come morn, take a much-needed break from your usual ho-hum cereal or yogurt and try one of these seven unique breakfast ideas, starring—you guessed it—avocado.
Now here’s a fun breakfast idea: Fill a halved avocado with a cracked egg and bake in the oven until the yolk sets. Then, top with crumbled bacon (because bacon makes everything better). Now, eat directly out of the avocado. Delicious, right? Oh, and did we mention that this meal is 100 percent Paleo-approved? It’s a win-win.
