Prepare the Avocado:
Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit.
Scoop out a bit of the flesh from each half to create a small well for the egg.
Preheat the Oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you prefer, you can also use a toaster oven.
Cook the Eggs:
Heat a skillet over medium heat and melt the butter or heat the olive oil.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and cook until the whites are just set but the yolks are still runny, about 2-3 minutes. Alternatively, you can scramble the eggs if you prefer.
Assemble the Avocado Bowls:
Place the avocado halves in a small baking dish or on a baking sheet.
Gently crack an egg into each avocado half. Be careful not to overflow the avocado.
Bake:
Place the dish or baking sheet in the oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are fully set but the yolks are still slightly runny.
Season and Serve:
Season with salt, pepper, and any optional toppings like chopped herbs, a pinch of paprika, or shredded cheese.
Enjoy:
Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, keto-friendly breakfast
