Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

4 large eggs

Salt, to taste

Black pepper, to taste

1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

1/4 teaspoon smoked paprika

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (or green onions)

Optional toppings: crumbled feta cheese, diced tomatoes, hot sauce, or sriracha

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Prepare the Avocados: Cut the avocados in half and remove the pits. Use a spoon to scoop out a little extra flesh from the center of each half to create enough space for the egg.

      Season: Place the avocado halves in a small baking dish to ensure they don’t tip over. Sprinkle a pinch of salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika inside each avocado half.

        Add the Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into each avocado half. If the egg white overflows a little, you can gently remove some of the excess to fit it better.

          Bake: Place the dish in the oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, you can bake them longer.

            Finish and Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh chives. Add any optional toppings you desire, such as crumbled feta, diced tomatoes, or a drizzle of hot sauce.

              Enjoy: Serve immediately while hot, either as a satisfying breakfast or a light lunch.
