Ingredients

• 1 whole Avocado
• 2 large Egg
• 0.25 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Paprika (optional)
• 1 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a small baking dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

Slice the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out a small portion of the flesh from each half to create enough room for the egg.

Step 3

Place the avocado halves in the baking dish, propping them up with crumpled foil or muffin tin cups if necessary to keep them steady.

Step 4

Crack one egg into a small bowl, then gently pour the egg yolk and enough of the white into the hollowed-out avocado hole. Repeat with the second egg and avocado half.

Step 5

Season the eggs with salt, black pepper, and paprika, if using.

Step 6

Carefully transfer the baking dish to the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired level of doneness.

Step 7

Remove the avocado halves from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped parsley, if desired, and serve immediately.
