Cuisine: American
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 2 ripe avocados
- 4 Eggland's Best eggs
- 1/4 cup diced tomatoes
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F (218°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
- Carefully slice the ripe avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Use a spoon to create a slightly larger cavity in each avocado half, ensuring enough space for the egg.
- Place the avocado halves on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they sit flat and stable without tipping.
- Crack one Eggland's Best egg into each avocado half, taking care not to break the yolk.
- Sprinkle salt and freshly ground black pepper over each egg-filled avocado half to enhance the flavor.
- Top each avocado half with diced tomatoes and shredded cheese, distributing evenly across the surface.
- Carefully transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired consistency.
- Remove from the oven and let the avocado breakfast cups rest for 2-3 minutes to cool slightly.
- Serve immediately while warm, optionally garnishing with additional fresh herbs like chives or parsley if desired.
Tips
- Choose the Right Avocados: Make sure your avocados are ripe but not overly soft. They should yield slightly to gentle pressure for the best results.
- Egg Size Matters: Use large Eggland's Best eggs for this recipe to ensure they fit perfectly into the avocado halves without spilling over.
- Customize Your Toppings: Feel free to get creative with toppings! Add ingredients like crumbled bacon, sautéed spinach, or your favorite herbs to personalize your breakfast cups.
- Monitor Cooking Time: Keep an eye on your avocados while they bake. Depending on your oven, cooking times may vary slightly, so check for the desired doneness of the yolks.
- Serve Fresh: These avocado cups are best enjoyed fresh out of the oven. If you have leftovers, store them in the fridge and reheat gently in the microwave.
