Instructions

Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 6-cup muffin tin with olive oil or use silicone liners.
Cut avocados in half and carefully scoop out some flesh to create a bowl shape, keeping the shell intact. Reserve the scooped avocado flesh.
In a bowl, mash reserved avocado flesh with lemon juice, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until creamy with a few chunks.
Stir in diced red bell pepper, chopped chives, and chopped smoked salmon.
Place each avocado shell into the muffin tin cups and evenly fill with the avocado-smoked salmon mixture.
Crack one egg into each filled avocado cup. Season eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Bake for 18-20 minutes until egg whites are set and yolks reach your desired doneness.
Let cool for 2 minutes before carefully removing from muffin tin.
Garnish with extra chives or dill if desired and serve warm.
Enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days for easy meal prep.
