Ingredients
Scale
Avocado Egg Boats
- 2 large avocados
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) to prepare for baking the egg boats.
- Prepare Avocados: Slice each avocado in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit to create space for the eggs.
- Arrange Avocado Halves: Place the avocado halves cut-side up on a baking sheet, ensuring they sit stable for cracking eggs into them.
- Add Eggs: Crack one egg into the cavity of each avocado half, distributing the eggs evenly.
- Season and Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese, salt, and black pepper evenly over the eggs in each avocado half.
- Bake: Bake the avocado egg boats in the preheated oven for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the egg whites are fully set and cooked through.
- Garnish and Serve: Remove from oven and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives before serving for added freshness and color.
Notes
- You can substitute cheddar or mozzarella with other cheeses like feta or pepper jack for different flavors.
- Check eggs at 15 minutes to avoid overcooking, especially if you prefer runnier yolks.
- Use firm avocados to help them hold shape during baking.
- This recipe is perfect for meal prep; just reheat gently before serving.
