Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 large avocado, halved and pitted
- 2 small eggs
- 2 slices turkey breast, chopped
Seasonings:
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
Optional Toppings:
- 1 tablespoon shredded cheese (cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley or chives
Instructions
- Prepare the oven to a precise temperature of 375°F (190°C), ensuring an even heating environment for optimal cooking.
- Carefully excavate a small cavity within each avocado half, creating a perfect nesting spot for the incoming eggs while maintaining the fruit’s structural integrity.
- Strategically position the avocado halves in a baking vessel, utilizing a muffin tin or similar support to prevent tipping and ensure stability during the baking process.
- Gently introduce a whole egg into each prepared avocado compartment, exercising precision to prevent spillage and maintain a clean presentation.
- Enhance the flavor profile by generously dispersing smoky turkey slices across the egg-filled avocados, complementing with a judicious sprinkle of salt, freshly ground pepper, and aromatic paprika.
- Optionally, crown the preparation with a delicate layer of shredded cheese for additional richness and depth of flavor.
- Transfer the assembled dish to the preheated oven, allowing the eggs to bake for 12-15 minutes until they reach the desired consistency – from softly set to fully cooked.
- Remove from the oven and immediately embellish with finely chopped parsley or chives, creating a vibrant visual and flavor finish.
- Serve the avocado egg bake promptly while still warm, ensuring maximum enjoyment of the dish’s textures and temperatures.
Notes
- Customize egg doneness by adjusting baking time, checking at 10-minute mark for runny yolks or 15 minutes for firmer texture.
- Choose ripe, firm avocados that can hold egg without collapsing, ensuring stable base in baking dish.
- Replace turkey with bacon, ham, or plant-based protein for dietary variations and flavor diversity.
- Use small ramekins or muffin tins to prevent avocado halves from tipping during baking, creating stable cooking environment.
