Baked Egg In Avocado

This simple and tasty recipe makes for a great snack or light mid-day meal. Avocados contain monounsaturated fats, which support the memory and learning centers of the brain. Full of omega-3 fatty acids, the contrast between the soft and fresh avocado and the creaminess of the egg make a great addition to your day.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados
• 4 fresh eggs
• 1/8 teaspoon pepper
• 1 tablespoon chopped chives

Directions:

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

Slice the avocados in half, and take out the pit. Scoop out about two tablespoons of flesh from the center of the avocado, just enough so the egg will fit snugly in the center.

Place the avocados in a small baking dish. Do your best to make sure they fit tightly.

Crack an egg into each avocado half. Try your best to crack the yolk in first, then let the egg whites spill in to fill up the rest of the shell.

Place in the oven and bake for 15 to 20 minutes. Cooking time will depend on the size of your eggs and avocados. Just make sure the egg whites have enough time to set.
