Baked Eggs in Avocado Recipe
serves 2
Ingredients
- 1 avocado, cut in half vertically with the pit removed
- 2 eggs
- 2 slices of bacon
- 2 tsp chopped fresh chives
- 2 slices of cooked bacon, crumbled
- salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Break the eggs into 2 separate bowls, being very gentle so as to not break up the yolks.
- Carefully scoop a yolk into the hollow cavity of the avocado half. Add some of the egg white as well, until the avocado hole is full. Repeat this step for the remaining egg and avocado half.
- Top each avocado half with a pinch of salt and pepper. Transfer the avocados to a baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, until the eggs are set.
- When you’re ready to serve, garnish with fresh chives and crumbled bacon.
