Crack two eggs into each avocado half. Season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).

Chef's Tips

For a runny yolk, bake for a shorter time (around 15 minutes).

To prevent avocados from browning, brush the cut sides with lemon or lime juice before baking.

Customize with your favorite toppings, such as diced tomatoes, spinach, or hot sauce.

You can prepare the avocados and add the eggs ahead of time, and then bake them just before serving.
