Baked Eggs in Avocado


This dish is super tasty, very healthy, and really cute and clever.  We enjoy this stabilizing breakfast dish with a green smoothie, such as this one.  I also think these baked eggs would be especially delicious while camping in the mountains and cooked over a fire...




INGREDIENTS:

- 1 avocado
- 2 small eggs
- sea salt, to taste
- freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- optional; shredded cheese, and/or salsa


DIRECTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.  

2. Cut avocado in half and carefully remove pit.  Depending on how big the pit is, the hole in the avocado should be big enough for one small egg.  If the hole looks too small, scoop out a little avocado until it matches the amount of egg.  

3. Carefully crack 1 egg inside each avocado hole.

4. Place avocados in small baking dish against edge so they don't tip, and sprinkle with sea salt, pepper (and optional shredded cheese).  

5. Repeat for other avocado half.  

6. Gently place the baking dish in oven and bake for approximately 15 minutes, until desired consistency.  

7. Serve warm, and with optional salsa.  Enjoy!
