Today I’m sharing this Egg Skillet with Avocado and Tomatoes for a Friday Favorites recommendation, and if you haven’t tried this tasty breakfast with spicy tomatoes and avocados, I highly recommend it! I’m always a fan of eggs and avocados together, and this is something I came up with years ago when I had avocados in the fridge that needed to be used.

And if you’re wondering why my avocados were in the fridge, I shared a life-changing discovery that ripe avocados will stop ripening and last for several days longer if you store them in the fridge. Please tell me I’m not the only one who can’t resist those bags of avocados at Costco and then has a hard time remembering to use them?

I also think this Egg Skillet recipe that has avocado and tomatoes would make a delicious meatless meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. If you don’t care if it’s gluten-free or low-carb you could eat it with something like low-carb tortillas or whole wheat toast, but I just ate it alone, with a generous sprinkling of Green Tabasco Sauce (affiliate link).

What ingredients do you need for this recipe?

(This is only a list of ingredients; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

• Ro-Tel Tomatoes (affiliate link), see note
• avocado
• Vege-Sal (affiliate link) or salt and fresh-ground black pepper

Can you make the egg skillet without Ro-Tel Tomatoes?

Ro-Tel tomatoes are a classic American brand, but any canned tomatoes with diced green chiles will work for this recipe. The Ro-Tel tomatoes are pretty spicy, so if you’re making this for kids I’d use plain tomatoes with a little hot sauce. (The Ro-Tel can is smaller than most canned tomatoes, so you’ll have to simmer a little longer to cook away the liquid if you use a different type of tomato.)

What pan did we use for this egg skillet recipe?

I highly recommend using a Cast Iron Skillet (affiliate link) for this recipe. I used a 10.25 inch Cast Iron Skillet, which I thought was the perfect size.

How low in carbs is this egg skillet recipe?

How to make Egg Skillet with Avocado and Tomatoes:

(This is only a summary of the steps for the recipe; please scroll down for complete printable recipe. Or if you use the JUMP TO RECIPE link at the top of the page, it will take you directly to the complete recipe.)

1. Before you start, preheat the oven to 400F/200C.
2. Break 4 eggs into individual dishes and let them come to room temperature on the counter. (This is important.)
3. I used original style Ro-Tel Tomatoes (affiliate link) to make this recipe, and in case anyone is wondering, Ro-Tel has not paid me to use their tomatoes.
4. I used a 10.25 inch Cast Iron Skillet, which I thought was the perfect size. Even if your pan is well-seasoned, spray it thoroughly with non-stick spray or brush with oil.
5. Then add the can of tomatoes and simmer until the liquid has mostly evaporated.
6. While the tomatoes simmer, slice the avocado.
7. After 4-5 minutes on medium, the tomatoes should have the water mostly evaporated.
8. Turn heat to low and arrange the avocado slices over the tomatoes.
9. Then g-e-n-t-l-y put each egg into a spot between the avocado slices.
10. Season to taste with salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
11. Put the skillet into the preheated oven and bake 10-12 minutes, or until egg yolks are as done as you like them. Serve hot!
