Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
- Line a baking sheet or a large oven-safe dish with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.
- Slice each avocado in half and remove the pits. Use a spoon to gently scoop out enough flesh from the center of each half to create a larger well (big enough to hold an egg).
- Arrange the avocado halves on the baking sheet, ensuring they are stable and level to prevent spillage. You can use small pieces of crumpled aluminum foil underneath to stabilize them if necessary.
- Finely chop the onion and evenly distribute the chopped pieces into each of the avocado wells. This will add a delicious crunch and flavor to your baked eggs.
- Carefully crack an egg into each avocado half, ensuring the yolk stays intact. If the avocado well is too small, you can let some of the egg white overflow onto the baking sheet.
- Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolks reach your desired level of doneness.
- Once the eggs are baked, remove the avocados from the oven. Sprinkle each egg with a dash of salt and black pepper to taste. While the eggs are still warm, zest the limes over the top for a burst of citrus aroma and then squeeze a bit of lime juice onto each avocado.
- Finish by garnishing with freshly chopped coriander leaves. This adds a fresh, herby note that perfectly complements the richness of the baked eggs and avocado.
- Serve the baked eggs in avocado warm. They make a delightful breakfast or brunch option and pair well with a fresh salad or whole-grain toast.
Tips:
- Choose ripe but firm avocados to ensure they hold their shape when baked.
- Scoop out just enough avocado flesh to fit an egg without the egg spilling over.
- For a more flavorful dish, consider adding other seasonings like smoked paprika, cumin, or chili flakes.
- Avoid over-baking the eggs to maintain a runny yolk and creamy texture.
- Serve immediately for the best taste and texture, as the baked avocados may brown if left sitting for too long.
