Avocado Breakfast Bake

dgold break bake mar 16

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.
