Ingredients:
2 ripe avocados
4 strips of bacon, cooked and crumbled
Salt and pepper, to taste
Cheddar cheese, shredded (optional, for topping)
Fresh chives, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Prepare the Avocados:
Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop out some of the avocado flesh, creating enough space for an egg in each half. (You can save the scooped-out avocado for another use.)
Place the avocado halves in a baking dish or on a baking sheet. It helps to slice a small piece off the bottom of each avocado half to make them stable and prevent them from tipping over.
Add the Eggs:
Crack an egg into a small bowl. Gently slide the egg into one of the avocado halves. Repeat with the remaining eggs and avocado halves. Season with salt and pepper.
Bake:
Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Add Toppings:
Once the avocados are out of the oven, sprinkle the crumbled bacon over the top. If you're using cheese, add it now so it can melt slightly from the warmth of the baked avocado and egg.
Garnish and Serve:
Garnish with chopped chives before serving.
