Baked Avocados with Eggs

Baked avocados with eggs make for a delicious and nutritious low-carb breakfast or lunch option. The creaminess of the avocado pairs perfectly with the richness of the baked eggs, creating a satisfying and healthy dish.

Ingredients:

• 2 ripe avocados
• 4 large eggs
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Chopped fresh cilantro optional, for garnish
• Salsa optional, for serving

Instructions:

Turn on your oven and heat it up to 375F 190C

Take the pits out of the avocados and cut them in half

To make a bigger hole for the egg, scoop out a small amount of the avocado flesh

To keep them from falling over, put the avocado halves in a baking dish

Put one egg into each half of the avocado, being careful not to let it spill out

Add pepper and salt to taste

Put it in an oven that is already hot and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still a little runny

If you want, you can add chopped cilantro as a garnish

Add salsa to the side if you want it to taste even better

Enjoy your baked avocados with eggs that are low in carbs!
