"Sült tojás avokádóban," or "baked egg in avocado," is a nutritious and delicious dish that combines the creaminess of avocado with the richness of a baked egg. It's perfect for breakfast or a light meal. Here's how to make it:
Ingredients:
- 1 ripe avocado
- 2 small eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: chili flakes, chopped herbs (like parsley or chives), grated cheese, or crispy bacon bits
Instructions:
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
-
Prepare the Avocado: Cut the avocado in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out a bit of the flesh from the center of each half to create enough space for the egg. You can save the scooped-out avocado for another use, like spreading on toast.
-
Stabilize the Avocado: Place the avocado halves in a small baking dish or on a muffin tin to keep them stable during baking. You can use crumpled aluminum foil to help keep the avocados level if they wobble.
-
Add the Eggs: Carefully crack one egg into each avocado half. It’s easier to do this by cracking the egg into a small bowl first, then pouring it into the avocado. If the eggs are too large, you might want to let some of the egg white overflow or discard a bit of it before adding it to the avocado.
-
Season and Bake: Season the eggs with salt, pepper, and any other desired spices. Place the avocados in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny. If you prefer a fully cooked yolk, bake for a few minutes longer.
-
Finish and Serve: Once the eggs are done to your liking, remove the avocados from the oven. Garnish with optional toppings like chili flakes, herbs, cheese, or bacon bits for extra flavor.
-
Serving: Serve the baked avocado halves warm, either on their own or with a side of toast, salad, or your favorite breakfast items.
Tips:
- Egg Size: Smaller eggs work best for this recipe, as they fit better into the avocado halves.
- Texture: The avocado will soften slightly during baking but still retain its creamy texture, making a lovely contrast with the egg.
- Customization: Feel free to experiment with different toppings and seasonings to make the dish your own.
