INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Cut the avocados in half lengthwise and remove the pit. Scoop out a small amount of flesh from each half to create a bigger space for the egg.

  2. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar and stir to create a whirlpool in the water.

  3. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Then, using a spoon, gently slide the egg into the center of the whirlpool. Repeat with the remaining eggs.

  4. Poach the eggs for 3-4 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.

  5. While the eggs are cooking, preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C).

  6. Place the avocado halves in a baking dish and season them with salt and pepper.

  7. Once the eggs are cooked, remove them from the water using a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel to drain any excess water.

  8. Place one egg into each avocado half, making sure it fits snugly. If the hole in the avocado is too big, use a spoon to scoop out some of the flesh until the egg fits nicely.

  9. Bake the avocado halves in the preheated oven for 5-7 minutes until the eggs are set to your liking.

  10. Remove the avocado halves from the oven and let them cool for a minute or two. Add any desired toppings like chopped cilantro, red pepper flakes or hot sauce.

  11. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious poached eggs in avocado!
