So my girlfriend found an interesting breakfast dish that was an avocado stuffed with a soft boiled egg and wrapped in bacon, it looked absolutely amazing. I enjoy avocado but not as much as she does so I thought I would change the recipe a little bit to give me some more meat in it.
We compromised on an avocado stuffed with Colby Jack cheese, wrapped in ground sausage and bacon. I wanted to smoke it to give it some more flavor then we were going to put an over easy egg on top to finish it off. What we ended up with was one of the best breakfasts I've ever had.
Started with chopping up the block of Colby Jack cheese into small cubes since this was going to be stuffed inside of the avocado. I think you wouldn't have a problem using shredded cheese as long as you used a decent amount and squished it into a ball of some sort.
Next, I cut all the way around the avocado and removed the pit, I left the skin on in order to work with avocado and not crush it or get my hands extremely messy. I then dug out the inside of the avocado to make the pit hole a little bigger in order to stuff the cheese inside. I made sure I didn't dig too deep in the pit hole so that I would poke through the back side, so it was essentially digging out the sides of the pit hole. I placed all the cheese into the pit hole of one side of the avocado then removed the skin from both sides with a spoon like you normally would. I then put the avocado back together and sealed the edges with the soft, mushy, outer edge of the avocado.
After my cheese filled avocado was back together, I then proceeded to take ground breakfast sausage and wrap it around the avocado. I did it rather gently because I didn't want to break the avocado at all. I also tried to do a thin layer of sausage but ended up using a whole pound for two avocados which was still a fairly thin layer of sausage.
Once the sausage was on I wrapped the bacon around the sausage/avocado "egg". I put them on the smoker at about 250-275 until the bacon appears to be cooked. When it was getting close I started cooking the eggs so they were nice and runny. I put the over-easy and over-medium eggs on top of each "egg" then cut in half and watched the egg and cheesy goodness ooze out.
As amazing as this was, I think we both could have easily split one avocado and didn't need one for each of us as it was extremely filling.
Wrapped in sausage, spoon for size reference.
Wrapped in bacon and ready for smoker.

Gooey deliciousness
