Start your day with a nutritious and visually appealing breakfast featuring baked eggs nestled in creamy avocado halves. This dish is not only delicious but also packed with healthy fats and protein to keep you satisfied.
Ingredients:
• 2 ripe avocados
* 4 large eggs
* Salt and pepper to taste
* 1/4 teaspoon paprika or chili powder (optional)
* Fresh herbs (such as chives or cilantro) for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
2. Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. If needed, scoop out a little extra flesh to create enough space for the eggs.
3. Place the avocado halves in a baking dish, cut side up. If they don’t sit flat, you can place them in a muffin tin or use crumpled aluminum foil to stabilize them.
4. Carefully crack an egg into each avocado half, being cautious not to overflow. If an egg yolk breaks, it’s fine; just do your best to keep them intact.
5. Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and paprika or chili powder if using.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired doneness.
7. Remove from the oven and garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious baked eggs in avocado halves!
