Baked avocado and egg recipe
Ingredients
- 1 avocado
- 2 eggs
- Salt
- Pepper
- Cayenne pepper, paprika, or chili powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425° F (218º C).
- Cut a ripe Haas avocado in half and discard the pit.
- Scoop out a bit of the avocado with a spoon so you can put the egg inside. Put each half over a baking sheet. I also used a muffin cup for each half to prevent spills.
- Sprinkle salt over each avocado.
- Add one raw egg to each avocado and then season with salt and pepper.
- Add cayenne pepper, paprika or chili powder.
- Bake for 17 to 20 minutes (depends on your oven and how cooked and firm you prefer eggs).
