A few weeks back was my 17th wedding anniversary. Though our anniversary fell on Saturday, I planned on taking Friday off so I could spend some time with my wife (try it, its way better than working). The night before, my wife got this text message from her sister. It served as the inspiration for our anniversary breakfast the next day.
Baking eggs in an avocado is pretty simple. Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees and put an egg into the hollow of an avocado. Depending upon the size of your egg and the size of the avocado seed, you might need to scoop some extra avocado out. I didn't do that and lost quite a bit of egg white in the over flow. But then you get to eat some avocado early, as a preview of whats to come.
Season with salt and pepper and bake the avocado for 20 to 25 minutes. I think that baked eggs are really good, but they take longer to cook than you think. When it's done drizzle with your favorite hot sauce, I like the sriracha because its thicker and holds its shape.
The texture of the avocado didn't really change with baking, as sometimes warm mushy things can be weird to eat. With some bacon and coffee (and the obligatory glass of water), it makes a great breakfast!
You can use an avocado as a little bowl for all kinds of things. I sometimes will make tuna salad and fill the avocado. Let me know what kinds of things you like to put in your avocados!
Enjoy!
