Martian Eggs

Tonymeetsmeat · 08-08-2016, 12:41 AM

Hey all. First time posting here. Thought this was something you may all enjoy...or not...haha.
I was playing around and came up with these. I call them "Martian Eggs". Little egg-sized avocados stuffed with egg yolks, encased in sausage and wrapped in bacon. Smoked with apple at 240° on the Weber with a snake until the bacon was done...about 2 hours. Not quite the runny yolk I was hoping for but pretty good stuff anyhow. I will try freezing the yolks next time and see if that helps me get the gooey goodness.

They definitely look like something from outer space :)

I bet they were tasty!

Well that's creative! Not sure what to think of it.... but creative. I'm feeling confused because I like all 4 ingredients, but not sure how they would jive in the mouth. I grew up eating tons of avocado, but never warmed/cooked, that's probably my main hangup. I'm surprised they were still green. How ripe were they?

I guess if I would try them, but only if somebody else tries them first.

To get the runny yolk, you could try cooking them even hotter, for a shorter amount of time.

IamMadMan · 08-08-2016, 05:49 AM

Very unique idea... I'm not into avocado, but I'd give this a try.

escrimps · 08-08-2016, 10:00 PM

I've only seen the picture, but it's my new favorite. Thanks for a great idea.

BillN · 08-08-2016, 10:06 PM

Wow, kind of like a little mini fatty, thanks for sharing. Definitely all good ingredients.

AussieMatt · 08-09-2016, 06:42 AM

That looks great! Where did you find avos so small?

PaSmoker · 08-09-2016, 08:09 AM

I'm TOTALLY stealing this idea. And name.

Thanks for the compliments. Grocery Outlet had these bags of like 12 for $2.00. I just had to buy them. I had no idea what I was going to do with them until I decided they needed a yolk. I also did a couple with cream cheese in there. It was a touch bizarre having the warm avocado though. Needs a lemon or something acidic to cut through the richness a bit. I had some homemade pickles myself. If ya make 'em, let me see. Someone will get a good runny yolk before I will I'm sure.

They were nice and ripe actually. I soaked them in a bath of water and lime juice for a minute to keep them from browning.
