Avocado Eggs
Eggs baked in avocados are easy, nutritious and delicious. They make a beautiful presentation!
Ingredients
- 2 Avocados
- 4 Eggs (no larger than medium in size)
- Sea salt and fresh ground black pepper
Toppings
- Crumbled bacon
- Minced red onion or chives
- Cilantro or parsley (Anything you'd like to add!)
Instructions
- Optional: Fry at least 4 pieces of bacon if you're using for toppings. Let cool, crumble and set aside.
- Preheat your oven to 425ยบ. Cut the avocados in half, leaving the skin on. Remove the pit and scoop out the center to create a larger pit hole. Keep that scooped out avocado for things like avocado toast!
- Place the avocado halves on a baking sheet, propped up so they don't roll. Gently crack one egg into each of the avocado "bowls" careful not to break the yolks. This will be a bit frustrating if the eggs are bigger than the "bowl," but just remove any excess egg white if need be. Sprinkle with salt and pepper (and hot pepper flakes if you want to spice things up!)
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the yolks start to harden to the "over easy" stage. Garnish with bacon bits, minced red onion and anything else that comes to mind. These can be served with salsa on the side.
