Very good! Just made this and it's easy and delicious. I used half avocado one egg and two pieces of bacon. Spice I used was McCormick Culinary Caribbean Jerk Seasoning and it works perfect with this, also salt and pepper and a little mozzarella cheese on top. Perfect for air fryer. Going to keep this one for my keto diet!
