Instructions:

1. 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.

2. Preheat the Oven:

   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). If you prefer, you can also use a toaster oven.

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

6. Season and Serve:

   • Season with salt, pepper, and any optional toppings like chopped herbs, a pinch of paprika, or shredded cheese.

7. Enjoy:

   • Serve warm and enjoy your delicious, keto-friendly breakfast

Tips:

• For a creamier avocado, let it ripen for a few more days before using.

• To prevent the avocado from browning, squeeze a little lime or lemon juice over it.

• For extra flavor, add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the avocado.

• Experiment with different toppings to customize your bowl.

• This bowl is perfect for meal prep. Prepare the avocado and hard-boiled eggs in advance and assemble the bowls when ready to eat.

Common Mistakes:

• Using an unripe avocado, which can be tough and flavorless.

• Overcooking the eggs, resulting in dry and rubbery yolks.

• Not seasoning the avocado and eggs adequately.
