How to Make Baked Eggs And Avocados

  1. Preheat oven to 450°F (232°C).

  3. Layer 2 slices of prosciutto (thinly sliced) evenly in each ramekin.
  4. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese over the prosciutto in each ramekin.
  5. Divide 1 ripe avocado (about 1/2 medium avocado per ramekin), diced, between the two ramekins.
  6. Dollop 1 tablespoon of sour cream onto each avocado layer.
  7. Carefully crack 2 large eggs into each ramekin.
  8. Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  9. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of fresh basil leaves over each ramekin.
  10. Place the ramekins in a shallow roasting pan.
  11. Pour boiling water into the pan until it reaches ¾ of the way up the sides of the ramekins.

  13. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Elevate your dish with simple flavor boosters! A final flourish of freshly chopped herbs can add incredible brightness, while a squeeze of lemon or lime juice right before serving can awaken all the flavors. Don't underestimate a sprinkle of quality finishing salt or a drizzle of good olive oil to make your creation shine.
