Avocado Baked Egg

INGREDIENTS

2 avocados
4 eggs
Lime, to taste
Salt and Pepper, to taste

Green Onion, sliced (optional)
Cilantro, chopped (optional)
Salsa (optional)
DIRECTIONS

Who doesn't love avocado with their morning eggs? This recipe combines these two breakfast darlings to make something better than the sum of their parts - decadent deliciousness, bursting with health.

Make sure your avocados are ripe but still firm -- they're going in the oven, so they need some structural integrity. Preheat your oven 450°F (or, if it's particularly hot, 400°F).
Cut each avocado in half, remove the pit, and scrape out a space large enough to fit an egg in each halved avocado. Squeeze lime juice and sprinkle salt over the avocados to taste and place on baking sheet. Break an egg into the center of each avocado.
Bake until the egg whites are set and yolk is runny, about 10 to 12 minutes, or longer if you like your egg yolks fully cooked. Garnish with cilantro, green onions, salsa or whatever else you like -- and enjoy!
