Ingredients
Scale
Avocado and Eggs
- 2 large avocados
- 4 large eggs
Seasoning and Toppings
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the egg boats.
- Prepare avocados: Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits to create a hollow space for the eggs.
- Arrange avocado halves: Place the avocado halves on a baking sheet, ensuring they are stable and won’t tip over during baking.
- Crack eggs: Crack one egg into each avocado half, gently guiding the egg white and yolk into the hollow.
- Add toppings: Sprinkle shredded cheese evenly over each egg-filled avocado half, then season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and the cheese is melted and slightly golden.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped fresh chives. Serve immediately while warm.
Notes
- You can experiment with different types of cheese such as feta or goat cheese for varied flavor.
- For extra protein, add cooked bacon bits or sausage crumbles on top before baking.
- If you prefer runnier yolks, bake for a shorter time and monitor closely.
- Ensure the avocado halves sit flat on the baking sheet by trimming a small slice off the bottom if needed.
