Creamy baked avocado halves filled with perfectly set eggs, lightly seasoned and topped with fresh chives for a simple yet elegant breakfast.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 large avocados, halved and pitted
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Lightly brush the avocado halves with olive oil and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
  3. Place the avocado halves snugly in a baking dish to keep them steady.
  4. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then carefully pour one egg into each avocado half. Scoop out a little extra avocado flesh if needed to fit the egg.
  5. Bake for 15 to 18 minutes until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired doneness.
  6. Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes.
  7. Sprinkle with chopped fresh chives and an extra pinch of salt and pepper before serving.
  8. Serve warm and enjoy.

Notes

  • Use ripe but firm avocados so they hold their shape while baking.
  • Place the avocados close together in the baking dish to prevent tipping.
  • Do not overbake, as the yolks will continue to cook slightly after removal.
