INGREDIENTS

There are the following ingredients for Baked Avocado Egg:

  • ½ ripe avocado, pitted
  • 1 egg
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh herbs (parsley, chives, or basil) for garnish

FULL NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION

  • Carbohydrates: 4g
  • Protein: 7g
  • Fat: 13g
  • Fibre: 5g
  • Sugar: 1g
  • Sodium: 70mg

PREPARATION

  • Preheat Oven: Set the oven to 200°C (400°F). Preheating ensures the egg cooks evenly inside the avocado.
  • Prepare Avocado: Slice the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out a small amount of the flesh to make room for the egg.
  • Add Egg: Place the avocado halves in a baking dish to keep them stable. Crack an egg into each half, carefully filling the avocado hole. Use a small egg if possible, or discard a little egg white to avoid overflow.
  • Bake: Place the baking dish in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your liking.
  • Season And Garnish: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the avocado and egg. Garnish with fresh herbs for added flavour.

PREP TIME

5 minutes

COOKING TIME

12-15 minutes

TIPS

  • Stabilise The Avocado: Use a small ramekin or crumple some aluminium foil around the avocado to keep it upright while baking.
  • Choose The Right Egg Size: A medium or small egg is ideal for fitting snugly in the avocado hole. For larger eggs, remove some of the egg white to avoid overflow.
  • Adjust Bake Time: For a runny yolk, check at around 12 minutes; for a firmer yolk, bake closer to 15 minutes.

VARIATIONS

  • Cheesy Topping: Add a sprinkle of shredded cheese on top before baking for a richer flavour.
  • Spicy Kick: Add a dash of hot sauce or sprinkle with chilli flakes to give the dish a spicy twist.
  • Bacon Crumble: Add crumbled cooked bacon on top for an extra layer of savoury taste and texture.
  • Herbed Flavour: Experiment with different herbs such as dill, thyme, or cilantro to enhance the fresh flavour.

PREPPING AND STORAGE

  • Fridge: If you have leftovers, store the baked avocado egg in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Reheat gently in the microwave for about 15 seconds.
  • Freezer: Freezing is not recommended as the texture of the avocado can change significantly upon thawing.
