Instructions

Prepare the Avocados:

Season the Avocados: 3. Place the avocado halves on a baking tray. 4. Sprinkle each avocado half with salt, pepper, and a pinch of dry garlic.

Bake: 8. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). 9. Bake the avocado eggs in the oven for about 20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking.

Serve: 10. Let the avocados cool slightly before serving. Enjoy your delicious and healthy breakfast!

Notes:

• Feel free to adjust the seasoning according to your taste.

  Cooking Tips

  1. 1. Choosing the Right Avocados: Select ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape during baking. Overripe avocados can become too soft and mushy.

   

  1. Egg Handling: Crack the eggs into a small bowl first before pouring them into the avocado halves. This helps prevent yolk breakage and makes it easier to manage any overflow.
  2. Seasoning: Adjust the seasoning to your taste. You can add a pinch of chili flakes for a bit of heat or some fresh herbs like chives, parsley, or cilantro for extra flavor.
  3. Baking: Check the eggs a few minutes before the suggested baking time to ensure they are cooked to your preference. Some people prefer runny yolks, while others like them fully set.
