Ingredients
  

  • 2 avocados ripe
  • 4 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • fresh herbs (chives, cilantro, parsley, red pepper flakes) optional
  • a sprinkle of your favorite cheese

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
  • Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and carefully remove the pits. Create a small well in the center of each avocado half to accommodate the egg.
  • Place Avocado Halves on Baking Sheet: Place the avocado halves on a baking sheet, ensuring they are stable and won't tip over during baking.
  • Crack Eggs into Avocado Wells: Gently crack one egg into each well of the avocado halves. If you're concerned about spillage, you can crack the eggs into a bowl first and then pour them into the avocado wells.
  • Season with Salt and Pepper: Sprinkle each egg with a pinch of salt and pepper to enhance the flavors. Customize the seasoning based on your taste preferences.
  • Bake in the Oven: Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for approximately 12-15 minutes or until the egg whites are set, and the yolks reach your desired level of doneness. Keep an eye on them to avoid overcooking.
  • Add Optional Toppings: Once out of the oven, add your favorite optional toppings. Fresh herbs, a dash of red pepper flakes, or a sprinkle of cheese can elevate the flavors.
  • Serve Immediately: Baked Egg Avocado Boats are best enjoyed immediately while the avocado is still warm and creamy. Serve them as a standalone dish or with a side of whole-grain toast for a complete and satisfying meal.
