Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 whole Avocado
- 2 large Egg
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
- 1 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a small baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Slice the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh from each half to create enough room for the egg.
Place the avocado halves in the baking dish, propping them up with crumpled foil or muffin tin cups if necessary to keep them steady.
Crack one egg into a small bowl, then gently pour the egg yolk and enough of the white into the hollowed-out avocado hole. Repeat with the second egg and avocado half.
Season the eggs with salt, black pepper, and paprika, if using.
Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove the avocado halves from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.
Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
