Main Ingredients- 1 ripe avocado

Cooking Instructions
Step 1
The best time to use an avocado is when its skin color shifts from bright green to a deep purplish hue, and it yields slightly to gentle pressure. Choose an avocado that feels soft but not mushy.
Step 2
Wash the ripe avocado thoroughly. Carefully cut it in half lengthwise, all the way around the pit.
Step 3
To remove the pit, firmly insert the blade of a knife into it and twist gently. The pit should pop out easily. Wipe the pit clean with a paper towel.
Step 4
Scoop out a little of the avocado flesh from the center of each half using a spoon to create a larger well for the egg. Be careful not to scoop too much, or the avocado might break. (The scooped-out avocado flesh can be enjoyed separately as a snack or added to a salad.)
Step 5
Carefully crack one egg into each avocado half. Try not to break the yolk. If any egg white spills over, you can gently scoop it back in. Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper over each egg.
Step 6
Sprinkle your chosen toppings over the eggs. Finely chopped ham or bacon works wonderfully, as does the chopped scallions. Feel free to add other ingredients you enjoy, like diced bell peppers or cherry tomatoes.
Step 7
Place the filled avocado halves onto a baking sheet. Bake in a preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired consistency. Keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
Step 8
Once baked, carefully remove the avocado halves from the oven. For a beautiful finish and a hint of extra flavor, lightly dust the top with paprika powder.
Step 9
Serve immediately while warm. Scoop a spoonful of the creamy avocado and the perfectly cooked egg together for a truly delightful bite. This ‘Baked Avocado Egg’ is a testament to simple ingredients creating incredible flavors. Enjoy this wholesome and delicious breakfast any day of the week!
