Smoked Salmon + Avocado Egg Cups

A breakfast built for blood sugar stability from the first bite of the day.

The first meal sets the metabolic tone for everything that follows — plus a high-fat, high-protein start is one of the most effective strategies for flattening the glucose curve across the entire day.

Avocado delivers monounsaturated fats that slow gastric emptying + improve insulin receptor sensitivity, while its fiber content adds an additional buffer against glucose absorption. Eggs provide complete protein alongside choline — essential for cell membrane integrity + the signaling pathways involved in glucose metabolism. Smoked salmon contributes EPA + DHA, the omega-3 fatty acids that directly reduce the chronic inflammation driving insulin resistance, alongside a meaningful hit of protein to anchor satiety + prevent mid-morning blood sugar dips. Zero refined carbohydrates, high in healthy fat and complete protein — this is what a metabolically stable morning looks like.

Smoked Salmon + Avocado Egg Cups

• 2 ripe avocados, halved + pitted

• 4 small eggs

• 4 oz smoked salmon, torn into pieces

• Fresh dill + red pepper flakes to finish

• Sea salt + cracked black pepper

• Optional: squeeze of lemon

Preheat oven to 425°F. Scoop a small amount of flesh from each avocado half to make room for the egg. Place avocado halves in a baking dish + nestle smoked salmon pieces into the cavity. Crack one egg into each half. Season + bake 12–15 minutes until whites are set but yolk remains soft. Finish with fresh dill, red pepper flakes + lemon.
