Equipment
- Knife
- Spoon
- Baking sheet or muffin tin
- Pastry brush or cooking spray
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados (approx. 200g each)
- 4 medium eggs
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- ¼ tsp garlic powder
- ¼ tsp smoked paprika
- 2 tbsp shredded cheddar cheese (approx. 30g)
- Fresh parsley or chives, finely chopped for garnish
- 1 tbsp olive oil or cooking spray (for greasing)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Slice the avocados in half and remove the pits. Using a spoon, scoop out a bit of the avocado flesh to create a larger well for the eggs. Brush the tops with olive oil or spray with cooking spray to prevent browning.
- Place the avocado halves on a baking sheet or in a muffin tin to keep them stable.
- Crack an egg into each avocado well, being careful to keep the yolk intact. Season with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each filled avocado.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 14-16 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired consistency.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for a couple of minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives before serving.
Notes
To add more flavor, consider topping your baked avocado egg boats with crumbled bacon, diced tomatoes, or a dollop of sour cream.
For a dairy-free version, omit the cheese or use a dairy-free cheese alternative.
The cooking time may vary depending on the size of the avocados and eggs, as well as your oven, so keep an eye on them to prevent overcooking.
These avocado egg boats are best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one day.
