Avocado Breakfast Bake
For a protein-packed brekkie, made with just three ingredients, try this tasty avocado breakfast bake.
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados
- 4 eggs
- 4 rashers
Instructions
First, fry the rashers, allow to cool and set aside. (For a healthy option, place your rashers under the grill and cook to your liking)
De-stone and cut the avocados in half, scooping out a little of the flesh so the eggs have room to sit.
Crack an egg into the centre of each avocado half.
Carefully place onto a baking tray so that the eggs dont spill out of the centre.
Cook in a pre-heated oven at 205°C/400°F for about 15 minutes, or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
Top each one with two rashers, and season with salt and pepper.
