You can find this recipe all over the internet, but I just learned of it last week when Dylan told me about it.
This morning was my first attempt.
Preheated my convection "toaster oven" to 375.
Took a perfectly ripe Haas avocado, cut it in half, scooped out a little more around the hole. Seasoned with s & p.
Made a little aluminum foil tray for the half avocado to sit in.
Broke a large egg in there, and lost most of the white down the sink, since the hole was not large enough and the egg white just slid off. Also, the avocado leaned a bit to one side.
Notes to self: Next time, try a large California avocado. And cut a little slice off the bottom, so avocado will sit straight.
Seasoned egg with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika. Baked for 10 minutes. Perfectly done! (remember, I have a small convection oven, so regular ovens may require 15 minutes).
I really liked the texture and I was very surprised that the combination of flavors worked so well together! Delicious!
This is an excellent breakfast dish for people on some special diets! ( I would have loved a piece of toast to go with this, but I'm trying to stay away from bread for awhile).
Will try the other half of my avocado tomorrow!

That's what I'm thinking. Maybe sauted for a few minutes first.
