Ingredients

2 ripe avocados, halved, pitted
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp red chili flakes (optional)
2 tbsp fresh chives, snipped

Instructions

1

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a small baking dish with foil.
2

Slice a thin piece off the rounded bottom of each 2 halved, pitted ripe avocados half so they sit level without rocking. If the pit hole is small, scoop out a little extra flesh with a spoon to make a well large enough for the egg white and yolk.
3

Place the ripe avocados cut-side up in the prepared dish. Crack one of the 4 large eggs into each well, allowing any excess white to spill slightly over the edge if needed. Season each with 1/2 tsp kosher salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, 1/4 tsp garlic powder, and 1/4 tsp red chili flakes (optional).
4

Bake until the egg whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your liking - about 12-15 minutes for runny yolks, 16-18 minutes for fully set.
5

Remove from the oven and garnish with 2 tbsp snipped fresh chives. Serve immediately.
