Notes
Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy your baked avocado eggs as is or season to liking with salt and pepper. I like to jazz it up and serve with a sprinkle of ground paprika or chilli powder, fresh lemon juice and a sprinkle of finely chopped chives or herbs.
Make It Personal:
Add a layer of preservative free/Organic ham or smoked salmon beneath your egg.
You can also scramble and egg with chopped spring onions and pour into avocado holes.
These baked avocado eggs are delish with a drizzle of Pesto or Basil Dressing. Recipe Tips: *Make sure your avocado is stable so it doesn't tip over when transferring to the oven. You can use a tight small loaf tray, use oven-proof props to prop against them or cut a thin slice off the bottom of the avocado to make a stable base. Sensitive to Eggs? Instead of baking eggs in your avocado, enjoy your raw avocado filled with hummus, pesto or smoked salmon. Follow our recipe for Tuna Avocado Boats. Sensitive to FODMAPs? Depending on your sensitivity to avocados you may be able to enjoy 1/4 avocado per serve, instead crack your egg into a tomato with the centre cut out.
