Egg-stuffed avocado boats are a delicious and healthy snack or breakfast option that combines the rich, creamy texture of avocados with the protein-packed goodness of eggs. This easy-to-prepare recipe is perfect for those looking for a nutritious and satisfying dish that is both flavorful and visually appealing.
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Cut each avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pits. You can scoop out a bit of the avocado flesh to create a larger cavity if needed. This will make more space for the egg.
- Carefully crack each egg into a small bowl. This helps in managing the yolk and white, so you can pour them gently into the avocado halves.
- Place each avocado half in a baking dish so they fit snugly without tipping over.
- Gently pour one egg into each avocado half's cavity. It’s okay if some of the egg white overflows.
- Carefully transfer the baking dish to the preheated oven. Bake for about 15-20 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still soft. Adjust based on your preferred egg consistency.
- While the avocados are baking, prepare the dressing.
- In a medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, light sour cream, mustard, finely chopped onions, and salt. Mix well until the ingredients are thoroughly combined.
- Once the avocados are done baking, remove them from the oven and let them cool slightly.
- Drizzle the mayonnaise mixture over the baked eggs and avocados, or serve it on the side for dipping.
- Garnish with any additional toppings you prefer, such as chopped parsley, chives, or a sprinkle of black pepper.
- Serve the egg-stuffed avocado boats warm. These boats make a fantastic breakfast, brunch, or even a light lunch!
Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados that are slightly soft to the touch but not mushy to ensure they hold their shape when stuffed.
- Use a small spoon to gently scoop out some avocado flesh to make room for the eggs, but be careful not to puncture the skin.
- Feel free to add your favorite toppings such as chopped herbs, bacon bits, or cheese to enhance the flavor.
- For perfectly cooked eggs, bake until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, or adjust cooking time based on your preferred egg consistency.
- Serve with a side of whole grain toast or a simple salad to make a complete meal.
Egg-stuffed avocado boats are not only visually appealing but also a powerhouse of nutrients, offering a delectable combination of flavors and textures. Whether you're hosting a brunch or looking for a quick, nutritious meal, this recipe is sure to impress and satisfy.
