Ingredients
Scale
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to ensure it’s hot enough to bake the eggs properly in the avocado halves.
- Prepare the avocados: Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits to create space for the eggs.
- Place avocado halves: Arrange the avocado halves cut-side up on a baking sheet so they stay stable while baking.
- Add eggs: Crack one egg into each avocado half, making sure the yolk and whites settle evenly inside the cavity.
- Season and top: Sprinkle shredded cheese over each filled avocado half, followed by salt and black pepper to taste.
- Bake: Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set and cooked through.
- Garnish and serve: Remove from the oven and sprinkle chopped fresh chives on top for a fresh burst of flavor before serving.
Notes
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to hold the egg filling better and prevent collapsing.
- You can customize with different cheeses or add bacon bits or cooked vegetables for variety.
- Keep an eye on baking time to avoid overcooking the yolks unless a firm yolk is preferred.
- These egg boats are perfect for a quick breakfast or brunch and pair well with a light salad.
