Eggs in Avocado with Fresh Salsa
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 1 avocado ripe
- 2 eggs
- olive oil
- pinch of cayenne pepper
- 1 tsp cilantro chopped or torn
- pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Carefully cut your avocado in half length wise. Remove pits. Scoop out a little of the avocado where the pit was sitting to make a slightly bigger hole. I took a small sliver off the bottom of the avocado to help it sit flat in the sauce pan. Add a few drops of oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add your avocado.
- Sprinkle on some black pepper, cayenne pepper and some fresh cilantro.
- Crack your eggs, one at a time, into a bowl. Using a spoon scoop out each egg and carefully place each egg in an avocado half.
- Reduce the heat to medium low, cover pan with a lid, and cook until the egg whites have set up but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes. If you like your yolks firmer cook another minute or so.
- To serve place on a plate and top with pico de gallo or fresh salsa and another sprinkle of cilantro.
