recipe: avocado egg boats

ingredients

• 2 ripe avocados, halfed and pitted
• 4 large eggs
• kosher salt
• freshly ground black pepper
• 3 slices of bacon
• freshly chopped chives, for garnish

instructions

1. prehead oven to 350 fahrenheit. scoop about 1 tablespoon of avocado out of each half; discard or reserve for another use.
2. place hollowed avocados in a baking dish, then crack eggs in a bowl, one at a time. using a spoon, transfer 1 yolk to each avocado half, then spoon in as much egg white as will fit without spilling over.
3. season with salt and pepper and bake until whites are set and yolks are no longer runny, 20 to 25 minutes. (cover with foil if avocados are beginning to brown.)
4. meanwhile, in a large skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, 8 minutes. drain on a paper towel-lined plate, then chop.
5. top avocados with bacon and chives before serving.
