Ingredients
Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
4 large eggs
Salt to taste
Black pepper to taste
Optional: chopped chives or cilantro for garnish
Instructions
Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Scoop out about one tablespoon of avocado flesh from each half to create a larger space for the egg.
Assemble: Place the avocado halves in a muffin tin to keep them stable. Carefully crack one egg into the space in each avocado half. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake: Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.
Garnish and Serve: Garnish with chives or cilantro if desired. Serve immediately.
Notes
Ensure your avocados are ripe but not overly soft.
If you prefer firmer yolks, bake for a few extra minutes.
You can add a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little heat.
