Total Time: 25 mins
Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Chili flakes, optional
- Fresh herbs, for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). This will ensure that your Baked Egg Avocado Boats cook evenly and thoroughly.
- While the oven is heating, prepare the avocados. Carefully slice each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. To create enough space for the egg, scoop out a small portion of the flesh from the center of each half using a spoon. Be cautious not to scoop too much, as you want to maintain the structure of the avocado.
- Place the avocado halves in a baking dish, cut side up. If they are unstable, you can use crumpled aluminum foil to help stabilize them in the dish.
- Crack an egg into each avocado half. If the egg is too large and spills over, you can discard a little of the egg white to fit it better. Season each egg with salt and pepper to taste. If you enjoy a bit of heat, sprinkle some chili flakes on top.
- Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny, or to your desired doneness.
- While the avocados are baking, prepare your garnish. Finely chop fresh herbs of your choice, such as parsley, cilantro, or chives, to add a fresh touch to the dish.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the baking dish from the oven. Let it cool for a minute before serving to avoid burns.
- Garnish the Baked Egg Avocado Boats with the chopped fresh herbs. Serve immediately while warm, and enjoy your nutritious and delicious meal!
Tips
- Choose ripe, but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape during baking.
- Use a small spoon to create an egg cavity, being careful not to break the avocado's bottom.
- Stabilize your avocado halves in the baking dish using crumpled foil to prevent tipping.
- For perfectly cooked eggs, keep a close eye on the cooking time - 12-15 minutes is your sweet spot.
- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize your flavor profile.
- If you prefer firmer egg yolks, simply extend the baking time by 2-3 minutes.
- For extra richness, try adding a sprinkle of cheese or a dash of hot sauce before serving.
- Serve immediately to enjoy the optimal temperature and texture of your avocado boats.
