Ingredients

4 ripe avocados, halved, pitted
4 oz smoked salmon slices
4 large eggs
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tbsp fresh dill, roughly chopped
1 lemon, cut into wedges
2 tbsp capers (optional), drained

Instructions

1

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

Halve and pit 4 halved, pitted ripe avocados. Scoop out a little flesh from the center of each half to make a wider well. Place the avocado halves cut-side-up in the baking dish, propping them to stay level.

Press a folded slice of 4 oz smoked salmon slices into each avocado well to create a lining.

Carefully crack one of the 4 large eggs into each salmon-lined well. Season with 1/2 tsp salt, 1/4 tsp freshly ground black pepper, and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes (optional).
5

Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, until the egg whites are fully set and the yolks are cooked to your liking. The internal temperature of the egg should reach 160°F (71°C) for fully cooked eggs.
6

Garnish with 2 tbsp roughly chopped fresh dill and 2 tbsp drained capers (optional), and serve with 1 cut into wedges lemon for squeezing over the top.
