- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional toppings: salsa, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of feta cheese (for added flavor)
Instructions:
- Cut the ripe avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out a little extra flesh from each half to create a larger well for the eggs.
- Heat olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Place the avocado halves in the skillet, cut side down, and sear for about 2 minutes until they develop a slight golden color.
- Flip the avocado halves and crack an egg into each well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 4-5 minutes for runny yolks or longer for firmer yolks.
- While the eggs are cooking, prepare your toppings by mixing the diced tomatoes, red onions, bell peppers, and spinach in a bowl.
- Once the eggs are done to your liking, carefully remove them from the skillet and place each egg-filled avocado half on a plate.
- Top each avocado half with the mixed vegetables.
- Optionally, add salsa, hot sauce, or a sprinkle of feta cheese for added flavor.
