Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large ripe avocados, halved and pitted
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh chives, finely chopped
- 1 tsp black sesame seeds
- Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Optional: crumbled bacon or feta for added flavor
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Scoop out a bit more avocado flesh from the center of each half to create a larger well; place halves on the baking sheet.
- Crack one egg into each avocado half.
- Drizzle each with olive oil and melted butter; season with salt and pepper.
- Bake for 12–15 minutes, until egg whites are set but yolks remain slightly soft.
- Remove, sprinkle with chives and sesame seeds. Serve warm.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, omit butter or use coconut oil instead.
- To add more protein, top with cooked crumbled bacon or a sprinkle of shredded cheese.
- Use ripe but firm avocados to prevent over-squishing during baking.
