Ingredients
Scale
- 1 ripe avocado, halved and pitted
- 2 small eggs
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh chives
- 1 pinch dried parsley
- Sea salt and ground black pepper to taste
- 2 slices cooked bacon, crumbled (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Slice the avocado in half lengthwise, remove the pit, and scoop out a bit more flesh to create a larger cavity.
- Place avocado halves in a baking dish, using foil rings or crumpled parchment to stabilize.
- Carefully crack one small egg into each avocado half. Season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes until egg whites are set but yolks are still runny.
- Remove from oven, let cool for 1-2 minutes, then garnish with chives, parsley, and bacon.
Notes
- Choose avocados that give slightly but aren’t mushy.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the avocado flesh to prevent browning.
- If you don’t have chives, green onions or dill are excellent alternatives.
