How to Make Egg In Avocado Hole

  1. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-low heat.
  2. Lightly spray the skillet with cooking spray or 1 teaspoon of olive oil.
  3. Carefully slice one large Florida avocado (or two Haas avocados) lengthwise, creating two thick slices (approximately ½ inch thick).
  4. Optional: Reserve leftover avocado for homemade guacamole. (Recipe suggestion: Mash with 1 tbsp lime juice, ¼ cup chopped cilantro, ¼ avocado, and salt/pepper to taste).
  5. Gently remove the avocado pit. Use a small cookie cutter (approximately 1.5-inch diameter) to create a hole in the center of each avocado slice.
  6. Place the avocado slices in the preheated skillet.
  7. Crack one large egg into the hole of each avocado slice.
  8. Cover the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the egg whites are set and the yolk is cooked to your preference.
  9. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  10. Serve immediately and enjoy! (Alternative baking method: Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place avocado slices with eggs in the holes on a baking sheet and bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the egg is cooked through.)
