Ingredients
  

2 ripe avocados

4 large eggs

1/4 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, mozzarella, or your favorite)

2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives (or green onions)

Salt and pepper to taste

Optional toppings: diced tomatoes, bacon bits, hot sauce, or salsa

Instructions
 

Preheat the oven to 425°F (220°C).

    Carefully slice the avocados in half and remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop out a small amount of flesh from the center of each half to create enough room for the egg (reserve the scooped avocado for another use or mash it up).

      Place the avocado halves in a small baking dish or on a muffin tin to keep them upright while baking.

        Crack an egg into each avocado half. If the egg overflows, you can use a smaller egg or simply remove some of the whites.

          Sprinkle salt, pepper, and half of the cheese over each egg before placing in the oven.

            Bake for 12-15 minutes or until the egg whites are set but the yolks are still slightly runny (or to your desired doneness).

              Once out of the oven, garnish with the remaining cheese and fresh chives (or green onions). Add any additional toppings as desired.

                Serve immediately, with toasted bread or a side salad for a delightful meal.
