Baked Avocado Eggs

A baked egg in an avocado ~ Delicious!
Ingredients:
1 avocado
2 eggs
salt & pepper
1 teaspoon dried minced chives
2 tablespoons grated cheese

Preheat oven to 400*. Line a small baking dish with aluminum foil.
Cut the avocado in half. Hit the center of the pit with a sharp knife and remove. Use a spoon to scoop out a little bit of the avocado to make room for an egg. (The center needs to be big enough to hold a medium egg.)
Place the avocado halves in the prepared pan. Crack one egg into a small bowl. Slide the yolk into the center of one avocado half. Add just enough white to fill the center of the avocado.  Repeat with the second egg and avocado half. Sprinkle salt, pepper, half of chives and half of the cheese on top of each egg.
Bake for 15 minutes, or just until the whites are set.  Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings

Note: My non-keto husband, who only likes avocados in guacamole, was surprised that he liked this egg & avocado dish. We both enjoyed this.
