Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Mixture
- 1 Large Avocado
- 2 Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Grated Parmesan Cheese
- ½ tablespoon Parsley, chopped
- Salt and Pepper to Taste
Garnish
- Fresh tomatoes, chopped (optional, for topping before serving)
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for baking the avocado eggs.
- Prepare Avocado: Cut the large avocado in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit. If the pit is small, scoop out some avocado flesh to create enough space for the egg to fit comfortably.
- Stabilize Avocado: Place each avocado half in a small ramekin or on a baking dish to keep them upright during baking. This ensures the egg remains inside the cavity.
- Add Eggs and Seasoning: Crack one egg into each avocado half. Sprinkle salt, pepper, chopped parsley, and grated Parmesan cheese evenly over each egg-filled avocado.
- Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 12 to 14 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness, whether runny or fully set.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and top with freshly chopped tomatoes before serving for added freshness and flavor.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to hold the egg well without collapsing.
- Cooking time can be adjusted based on how you like your egg yolks.
- You can substitute Parmesan cheese with feta or cheddar if preferred.
- Using ramekins is optional but helps stabilize the avocado halves during baking.
- Fresh herbs like chives or cilantro make excellent alternatives for parsley.
- Adding a pinch of chili flakes can give a spicy twist to the dish.
