Ingredients

  • 4 avocados
  • 8 eggs
  • 2 limes cut in half
  • 2 bell peppers diced
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • Chopped cilantro optional
  • Warm flour or corn tortillas

Instructions

  1. Adjust oven rack to middle position and preheat to 450°F. Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray.
  2. Cut each avocado in half and remove the pit. Using a spoon, scrape out the center of each halved avocado so that it is large enough to accommodate an egg (about 1 1/2 tablespoons). Squeeze lime juice over the avocados and season with salt, then place on baking sheet. Break an egg into the center of each avocado. Don’t worry if some of the white spills out as long as the yolk is intact.
  3. Spread the diced bell peppers in an thin layer on the same baking sheet to allow for cooking as the avocados are in the oven.
  4. Bake in the oven until whites are set and yolk is runny, about 10 to 12 minutes.
  5. Remove from oven and garnish with cilantro and cooked bell peppers. Serve with tortillas.
