Martian Eggs

[Tonymeetsmeat]

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.

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.

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

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

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.

I like it, look like a killer appetizer.

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.

First, niiiiiiiiiiice
Second, how did you stop the yolk from falling out? Did you press the seams of the avocados together?
Third, you *could* try adding some cheese to the yolk (and maybe freeze that)...
Last, niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiice

Interesting! Almost a scotch egg... looks tasty!

Thanks and the yolk just stayed in there but was a bit slick when I put the halves together I guess, so it took a little finesse to wrap it with the sausage

I'm not sure why but this was the first thing that popped into my mind.
