I have eggs and avocado almost every morning for breakfast, and this morning, I decided to try something new and just cook them together. I am not the biggest fan of warm avocado, but this “boat” is really quite tasty and it’s pretty impressive. These are great to serve at a brunch party—you can eat them holding them in one hand, and there’s no mess.
There is so much goodness in avocados and eggs are so good for you in moderation, this really is a pretty healthy (and delicious) way to start the day. They’re so easy to make—they take hardly any time at all. Just make sure your oven is preheated before you put them in; you want the eggs to cook quickly or the avocado will cook too much.
