Avocado and eggs are a match made in heaven. This healthy, simple and elegant breakfast will wow your brunch guests and keep you full for hours with all the healthy fats. These can even be made as an easy weekday breakfast. Pop them in the oven while you are getting ready and come back 15-20 minutes later to a healthy and nourishing breakfast.

This recipe is from my cookbook, Wandering Palate.

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 425 F (218 C).

2. Cut the avocados in half, remove the pits and spoon out some of the flesh. Place the avocado halves, hallowed sides facing up. You can place them in a small ramekin or use crumpled foil to hold the avocado halves level.

3. Crack an egg over a bowl and try to separate some of the white from the yolk. Pour the yolk into the avocado halves and spoon the whites in until the hallow is full. Repeat with the remaining halves and eggs.

4. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the white is set but the yolk is still runny.

5. Season each avocado half with salt and chives. Divide between two plates and serve immediately.
