Avocado Eggs

This is a really interesting recipe or idea that I saw on Pinterest. It's a great breakfast food, full of omega 3 heart healthy fatty acids and high in protein. Importantly it is low in sugar and packed with fibre. It's also really simple....

Ingredients...

Avocado (large and ripe)

Two eggs

Salt/pepper/chives or other garnish

Directions...

Turn on the oven to 425f/220c

Take a ripe avocado, cut it in half removing the stone

You then, using a spoon, scoop out some of the avocado from around the pit to make the scoop in each side bigger. Big enough to take an egg. Around 2 tablespoons on each side should be enough.

Put the avocados into a baking dish or tray making sure they fit snug and don't roll or fall to the side. A bun/muffin tin make work well.

Crack an egg into each side of the avocado, make sure the yolk is in the pit you have stopped out with the egg white filling the remainder. Some of the white May spill out but this is fine. 

Put into the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, until the whites have set. 

Remove and garnish with salt, pepper or chives.
