Slice the avocados in half and discard the pits. Use a spoon to scoop out a portion of the flesh from the center of each half, leaving a 1/2-inch border of flesh in the skin. Reserve the scooped-out avocado flesh for another use.

Arrange the avocado halves cut side up in a square baking dish. Sprinkle the cavities with salt and black pepper. Carefully crack an egg into the center of each half and season with additional salt and black pepper.

Bake the eggs on middle rack of oven until the whites are set, 15-20 minutes.

Check to see that eggs are done. Remove from oven or add time as needed.

Serve immediately.

Tips & Tricks (5)

Avocado Ripeness Matters 🥑
Choose slightly soft avocados that yield to gentle pressure, ensuring they're perfectly ripe for baking and create a creamy base for your eggs.
Egg Yolk Precision 🥚
For a perfectly runny yolk, remove the baked avocado from the oven when the egg white is just set but the yolk still looks slightly glossy and soft.
Hollow Technique Mastery 🔪
Use a spoon to carefully create a slightly larger hollow in the avocado than you think you'll need, allowing room for the egg to sit comfortably without overflowing.
Season Strategically 🧂
Sprinkle salt and black pepper both inside the avocado hollow and on top of the egg for layered, balanced seasoning that enhances the overall flavor.
Stabilize Your Bake 🥣
Place your avocado halves in a muffin tin or use crumpled foil to keep them level, preventing the eggs from sliding and ensuring even cooking.
