Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Slice the avocados in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pits.
Scoop out a small amount of avocado flesh from the center of each half to create enough space for the eggs. Save the scooped-out avocado for another use if desired.
Place the avocado halves on a baking dish. If they wobble, create a stable base by slicing a small piece off the back of each avocado half.
Carefully crack an egg into each avocado half, allowing the yolk to stay intact and filling the remaining space with egg whites.
Sprinkle each avocado boat with salt and black pepper to taste.
Optionally, add small diced cherry tomatoes to the top for added freshness and flavor.
Lightly spray the avocados with olive oil spray, if using, to help them bake evenly.
Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the eggs reach your desired level of doneness (approximately 12 minutes for slightly runny yolks and 15 minutes for fully set yolks).
Remove the avocado boats from the oven. Let them cool for a minute before garnishing with freshly chopped chives or parsley.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Eggs in Avocado Boats!
