🍽️ Ingredients for Sunny Avocado Breakfast Plate
-
1 ripe avocado
-
2 small eggs
-
Salt & pepper, to taste
-
Pinch of red pepper flakes (optional)

¼ cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Handful of arugula or spinach

1 slice whole-grain toast
👨🍳 Instructions
-
Prep Avocado
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Slice avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out 1–2 tbsp of flesh in each half to make room for eggs. -
Add Eggs
Place avocado halves in a snug oven-safe dish or muffin tin (to stabilize). Crack one egg into each half. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. -
Bake
Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the egg whites are set but yolks are still a bit runny. -
Prepare Side Salad
While baking, toss tomatoes and arugula in olive oil and lemon juice. Season lightly with salt and pepper. -
Serve
Plate your baked avocado eggs with salad and toasted bread for dipping. Enjoy warm!
📝 Notes
-
Use smaller eggs so they fit without overflow.
-
To speed things up, you can microwave the avocados (30–45 sec), but baking tastes best.
-
Stabilize the avocados with foil if your baking dish is too roomy.
💡 Tips
-
Add toppings like feta, everything-bagel seasoning, or fresh herbs for flair.
-
For extra protein, serve with smoked salmon or turkey bacon.
-
Make it spicy with a drizzle of sriracha or chipotle sauce.
