Food, Glorious Food ….Baked Eggs in Avocado

 

So much glorious and gorgeous food to choose from. I just love eggs and I just love avocados, so when I saw this great recipe idea by Lizzie Fuhr, well I just had to share.

 

I must admit I’d never thought of baking an avocado, and then I thought, well why not?

 

I’m giving this as a breakfast, or lunch idea, so am suggesting ½ avocado per person - but of course if you would like to eat a whole avocado, and two eggs, well that’s easy just enjoy both halves!

 

Ingredients - for 2 (but see note above)
1 ripe avocado
2 fresh eggs
Shake of pepper to season
Teaspoon (or more if preferred) of chopped chives*

 

*You could use an alternative herb if preferred

 

Method

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees, Regulo 7.
Slice the avocados in half, and take out the pit. Scoop out about two tablespoons of flesh from the centre of the avocado, just enough so the egg will fit snugly in the centre.
Place the avocados in a small baking dish, a muffin dish or ramekin works well, …but do your best to make sure they fit tightly.

Crack an egg into each avocado half. It helps if you can crack the yolk in first, and then let the egg whites spill in….so it fills up the rest of the shell.
Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the size of your eggs and avocados….but make sure the egg whites have enough time to set.
Remove from oven, and then season with pepper, chives, (or herb of your choice)

Most importantly …. Enjoy!
