Avocados are amazing things—they're delicious on their own, but they also have a lot of healthy fats, dietary fibers, and vitamins, and despite their high caloric value, they're remarkably easy to prepare. If you have an avocado that's too firm to use for something else, or you're just in the mood for something new and healthy for breakfast, slice it in half, remove the pit, and carve out a little space in the center. Crack an egg where the pit was, and bake. In a few minutes, you'll have a delicious, protein and vitamin-packed breakfast treat that's rich enough to keep you going all morning.


The recipe itself is pretty simple, and comes to us thanks to reddit user fungz0r:

preheat oven to 425, have cast iron pan in there

Slice avocado in half, take out pit

take pan out, put avocado half on, crack egg in

put whatever you want on top

place in oven and cook till your eggs [are done how you] desire

Avocados are used in all sorts of breakfast dishes, but this is a great example of using the avocado as a breakfast dish, and pretty tasty one at that.
