Instructions

Gather ingredients
Gather avocado, egg, cheese, chili flake, salt, and black pepper, plus a baking dish, spoon, knife, board, bowl, and oven. · 3 min
What to look for: All ingredients are measured and tools are within reach.
Heat oven
Heat the oven to 204°C / 400°F and steady the avocado halves in a small baking dish so the cavities face straight upward. · 5 min
What to look for: Avocado halves sit level without tipping.
Shape hollows
Scoop a little avocado flesh from each hollow until an egg fits neatly, keeping the removed flesh for serving beside the baked halves. · 4 min
What to look for: Each hollow is wide and deep enough to hold an egg.
Add eggs
Crack 1 egg into a small bowl, slide it into 1 avocado hollow, and repeat with the remaining eggs to avoid shell pieces and overflow. · 4 min
What to look for: Each avocado hollow holds 1 egg with the yolk centered.
Season tops
Season each egg with salt and black pepper, then sprinkle cheese and chili flake evenly over the filled avocado halves. · 2 min
What to look for: Cheese and chili flake are lightly scattered over the eggs.
Bake eggs
Bake until the whites are just set and the yolks still wobble slightly, about 12 to 15 minutes for a soft center. · 15 min
What to look for: Egg whites look opaque and cheese is melted.
Rest briefly
Rest the dish for 2 minutes so the eggs finish gently and the avocado stays warm without the yolks turning firm. · 2 min
What to look for: Bubbling stops and the eggs settle in the avocado.
Serve warm
Serve the baked avocado halves warm with the reserved avocado flesh on the side while the yolks are still soft and glossy. · 2 min
What to look for: Yolks look glossy and avocado is tender.

Allergens

Contains: eggs, milk

Storage and reheating

Fridge: up to 1 days
Freezer: not recommended
Best eaten fresh because reheating firms the yolk and can make avocado bitter.

Ingredient substitutions

Chili flake

Black pepper: Use for warmth without the same red chili heat.

Salt

Black pepper: Use only if reducing sodium, since it adds aroma but not salinity.

Black pepper

Chili flake: Use less because chili flake brings sharper heat.
