Ingredients
  

  • 1 large ripe avocado
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 tbsp (42 g / 1.48 oz) butter, melted
  • 1 tsp (1 g / 0.04 oz) dried oregano
  • ½ tsp (3 g / 0.11 oz) pink Himalayan salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Optional toppings: chopped chives, crumbled bacon, feta cheese
  • Pro-Tips
  • To keep the avocado from tipping, place it in a muffin tin or nestle it in a small baking dish packed with crumpled foil.
  • If your eggs are too large for the avocado well, crack the egg into a small bowl first, then spoon the yolk and some of the white in, avoiding overflow.
  • For a firmer yolk, bake for an additional 3-5 minutes. For a perfectly runny yolk, check the eggs starting at the 12-minute mark.

Method
 

  1. Directions
  2. Preheat your oven to 400°F / 200°C.
  3. Slice the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out a tablespoon or two of flesh from the center of each half to create a larger well for the egg.
  4. Place the avocado halves in a small baking dish or a muffin tin to keep them stable and prevent them from tipping over.
  5. Generously brush the avocado flesh and skin with the melted butter.
  6. Carefully crack one egg into the well of each avocado half.
  7. Sprinkle the eggs with oregano, salt, and a pinch of black pepper.
  8. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still runny to your liking.
  9. Carefully remove from the oven, garnish with optional toppings, and serve immediately.
  10. Add a layer of shredded cheese, like cheddar or Monterey Jack, on top of the egg before baking for a delicious, melted crust.
