Ingredients:
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 small eggs
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional: cheddar, mozzarella, or your choice)
- 1 tablespoon chopped chives or green onions
- Red pepper flakes or paprika (optional, for heat)
Instructions:
- Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat.
- Prepare Avocados: Cut each avocado in half and remove the pit. If the hollow left by the pit isn’t large enough for an egg, carefully scoop out some flesh to create more space.
- Crack Eggs: Place the avocado halves on a baking dish. Carefully crack an egg into each avocado half. It’s okay if some egg white spills over.
- Season: Sprinkle salt and pepper on top of the eggs. Add a little cheese over each egg if desired.
- Bake: Bake the avocado boats for about 12-15 minutes, until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove the avocado egg boats from the oven. Sprinkle with chopped chives and red pepper flakes or paprika for a little heat.
Tips:
- You can experiment by adding toppings like bacon bits, diced tomatoes, or even a drizzle of hot sauce.
- For firmer yolks, increase the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
