- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional toppings: chopped herbs (such as parsley or cilantro), shredded cheese, hot sauce
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. If needed, scoop out a bit of flesh from each avocado half to make room for the eggs.
- Place the avocado halves on a baking sheet or in a baking dish, ensuring they’re stable and won’t tip over.
- Crack an egg into each avocado half, making sure the yolk fits into the hole left by the pit. You can also scoop out a bit more avocado if needed to accommodate the egg.
- Season each avocado half with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired level of doneness. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
- Once baked, remove the avocado eggs from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes.
- Optional: Sprinkle with chopped herbs, shredded cheese, or a drizzle of hot sauce before serving.
- Serve warm and enjoy your baked avocado eggs!
