For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of garlic powder to the avocado before adding the egg. If you prefer a firmer yolk, bake for the full 18 minutes. For a runnier yolk, check doneness at 15 minutes. Use high-quality bacon for the best flavor. Ensure the avocado is ripe but still firm enough to hold its shape during baking.
