Ingredients

Main

2 ripe avocados halved, pitted, peeled
1 cup crushed pork rinds fine panko-like crumbs
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
2 large eggs for binding
2 large eggs for cooking into the avocado centers
2 tbsp avocado oil or olive oil for frying

Instructions

Slice each avocado half into thick wedges—about 3 wedges per half. Use a small spoon or knife to gently scoop a shallow circular center into each wedge, creating a small pocket where the egg will later sit. Be careful not to break the slices.
Set up a breading station: In one bowl, whisk two eggs until smooth. In a second bowl, combine crushed pork rinds, paprika, and garlic powder. Mix well so the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the crust mixture.
Dip each avocado wedge into the beaten egg, coating all sides. Lift and let excess drip off. Then press each wedge into the pork rind mixture, ensuring the entire surface is well coated. Place coated wedges onto a plate and repeat with remaining slices.
Heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium heat. Once hot, place the coated avocado fries into the skillet without crowding. Fry for 1–2 minutes per side, or until the coating becomes golden and crisp. Carefully flip using tongs to avoid breaking the wedges.
Once crisp, reduce heat to low. Crack one egg at a time into a small bowl. Gently pour the egg into the scooped-out center of a fry, holding the wedge steady with a spatula if needed. Repeat with the remaining egg and wedge centers.
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook until the egg whites are fully set and the yolk reaches your preferred doneness—typically 2–4 minutes. Check occasionally to avoid overcooking the yolk if you prefer it runny.
Carefully remove each Egg-in-a-Hole Avocado Fry with a spatula and serve immediately. Enjoy as a high-fat, high-protein keto breakfast packed with flavor and crunch.

Notes

For extra flavor, sprinkle the avocado fries with chili flakes or everything bagel seasoning before frying. Serve with a drizzle of sugar-free hot sauce or a dollop of sour cream.
