If you’re familiar with the standard egg-in-the-holes (typically using bread) it’s time for an upgrade!

Savor your Avocado Baked Eggs as a meal or side dish for breakfast or any time of the day. Enjoy!

AVOCADO BAKED EGGS
Ingredients
1 medium avocado (approx 7oz.) (200g)
2 large eggs
salt and pepper, to taste (optional)
How to Prepare
1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Halve your avocado and remove the pit. Scoop out a small amount of the flesh (if necessary) if the hole is not big enough for the egg.
3. Secure your avocado in a small baking dish so it does not tip over.
4. Crack your egg and carefully slide into the hole of the avocado. Repeat with the other egg and half avocado.
5. Season with salt and pepper. NOTE: You can add whatever toppings you wish such as chives, salsa, red pepper flakes, hot sauce, etc.
6. Bake 12-15 minutes, or until your eggs are set. Remove from oven. Enjoy!
