Avocado Egg Boats

Avocado Egg Boats

This healthy and delightful recipe includes creamy ripe avocados filled with Southwest-style scrambled eggs. It's fantastic served at breakfast or brunch and offers an exciting twist to your everyday eggs on toast or salad.

Ingredients

  • 2 ripe avocados
  • 4 small eggs
  • 1/4 cup of diced red bell pepper
  • 1/4 cup of black beans
  • 1/4 cup of corn kernels
  • 1/4 cup of diced tomatoes
  • 1/4 cup of shredded cheddar cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh cilantro and lime slices for garnishing

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Start by cutting your ripe avocados in half and remove the seeds. Scoop out a bit of flesh from the center to create a space big enough for the egg.
  3. Place the avocado halves on a baking sheet with the cut side up. Sprinkle with some salt and pepper.
  4. Crack an egg into each avocado half. It's okay if the egg spills over, it will firm up once baked.
  5. Sprinkle the bell pepper, black beans, corn kernels, diced tomatoes, and shredded cheese over each avocado half.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
  7. Serve your avocado egg boats garnished with cilantro and a lime wedge on the side for a touch of freshness.
  8. With this recipe, you can enjoy a hint of richness from the egg, a creamy texture from the avocado, and a burst of flavors from the Southwest-style veggies and beans. They’re nutritious and packed full of healthy fats-- a wonderful way to start your day! Enjoy!
