Ingredients
1 organic avocado, cut in half with pit removed
1 egg
salt, pepper, and your favorite seasoning

1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Flip each avocado side over and slice off enough of the rounded skin so that it can sit flat when the fleshy side is up.
2. Place the avocadoes, fleshy side up, in a baking pan. Crack some salt into each hole. Whisk the egg in a bowl, divide it between the avocado holes.
3. Sprinkle with salt, pepper and the seasoning of your choice.
4. Bake for 16-18 minutes, until the egg has fully set. Eat with a spoon and enjoy!
