Ingredients
  

  • 1 large avocado
  • 2 eggs
  • Salt, pepper & chilli flakes to taste

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Cover a small baking sheet with tinfoil or parchment paper.
  • Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
  • Scoop about 1 tbsp from each avocado half. It is best to scoop wide rather than deep (as pictured) so that the egg cooks more evenly.
    Two avocado halves with a scoop taken out around the pit.
  • Cut a small part of the side of each avocado so that the halves stand still while cooking.
    Two avocado hales faced-down with a small amount of the back flesh cut off so that they stand still in the oven.
  • Place avocado onto the baking sheet and crack one egg into each half.
  • Sprinkle with salt, pepper & chilli flakes.
  • Bake for 18 - 22 minutes. 18 minutes for runny yolks and 20-22 minutes for more firm yolks.
  • Enjoy!
