Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2 avocados
- 4 eggs
- 50 grams (1.75 ounces) cheese
Seasoning:
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare workspace by gathering all ingredients and preheating oven to 200°C (400°F).
- Slice avocados lengthwise and carefully remove pits, creating a hollow space without compromising the avocado skin.
- Extract and transfer avocado flesh into a mixing bowl, mashing thoroughly with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
- Separate egg whites from yolks, whisking whites until they develop a light, airy texture.
- Gently fold whisked egg whites into mashed avocado mixture, creating a smooth, integrated blend.
- Incorporate freshly grated cheese into the avocado mixture, distributing evenly for consistent flavor.
- Strategically fill each avocado half with the prepared mixture, creating a small central depression to cradle the egg yolk.
- Arrange stuffed avocado halves on a baking tray, ensuring stable positioning.
- Bake for 15 minutes, then carefully remove from oven and delicately place a raw egg yolk into each prepared well.
- Return to oven and continue baking for an additional 5 minutes until yolks reach desired consistency.
- Remove from oven, let rest briefly, and garnish with optional fresh herbs before serving warm.
Notes
- Customize the egg doneness by adjusting the final baking time to achieve your preferred yolk consistency, from runny to fully set.
- Enhance nutritional value by adding chopped spinach or kale to the avocado mixture for extra vitamins and fiber.
- Make it dairy-free by substituting cheese with nutritional yeast or omitting cheese completely, which keeps the recipe light and suitable for various dietary needs.
- Experiment with additional seasonings like smoked paprika, chili flakes, or fresh herbs to elevate the flavor profile and create a unique taste experience.
