I find this recipe works best when using avocados that aren’t quite ripe yet, so when you are craving avocado, but it’s still too firm try this baked egg recipe for your next breakfast or snack.
How to Prepare: Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
Start by slicing the avocado in half, remove the pit, and carve out a little space in the center. Place avocado half on a baking sheet, crack an egg in the center where the pit was, and sprinkle with salt and pepper or any seasonings you like. Bake in oven for 15 minutes or until your egg is cooked to your liking.
Remove from oven and allow to cool for a minute or two.
Pick your toppings:
Top with chopped herbs such as cilantro or parsley. I use any fresh veggies I have on hand in the refrigerator. For this recipe, I topped with cilantro and diced cherry tomato then drizzled with hot sauce for a spicy kick to jump start my metabolism.
This breakfast is easy and delicious, packed with protein and essential vitamins to keep you full of energy all morning. I like eating this avocado egg bake after a workout, the protein from the egg and healthy fat from the avocado is the perfect combination to fill me up. I store the other avocado egg bake half in an air-tight container for a quick breakfast the next morning!
