Avocado Baked Eggs

Avocado-baked Eggs

Ingredients

1 avocado, 2 eggs, salt, pepper, cheese (I used shredded cheddar and crumbled feta), assorted herbs (basil/chives/etc.). I wanted to add some kind of meat, so I used a cheese grater to shred some black pepper salami. I could see some cut up bacon being really good too.

Prepare the avocados and preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Halve your avocado, remove the pit, and then use a spoon to widen the hole where the pit was. This leaves more room for your egg.

Add the eggs

Try to get the yolk in first and then fill the rest of the space with the white. My avocado wasn't big enough to fit all of the egg white.

Add your cheese(s), salt, and pepper

Some recipes said to add the cheese and toppings toward the end of the baking, but I added mine at the start and it worked out well.

Add additional toppings, and bake for about 15.

I put the avocados in a small baking dish, but a tray will do just fine. Depending on the amount of egg you get in the avocado, your baking time may be a little more or a little less. You can poke it with a knife to make sure the egg is fully cooked.

Enjoy!
