Tip:

If the pit is small, scoop out a bit of avocado to make the hole deeper before adding the egg.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 1 serving

Ingredients

1 avocado
1 egg, beaten
grated cheese
garlic powder
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Place the halves face up on a muffin tin so they won't tip over.

    Step 2

    Pour the beaten egg into each hole (one egg fills two halves). Sprinkle with grated cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

    Step 3

    Bake at 375° F for 15 to 20 minutes or until desired egg hardness.
