Bird in a Nest with a Twist

One of the quick and easy meals that my mom would make when I was growing up was called a Bird in a Nest. You used a milk glass to cut a hole in the middle of a piece of bread, put the bread in a skillet with melted butter and crack an egg in the middle, salt and pepper, flip and cook on the other side until done. It's yummy.  It's easy and it's good.  A few weeks ago I saw something that reminded me of this, with a twist.

**This isn't something I anticipate Kendra will ever make. I am just posting it because I cooked it this morning and took pictures.

Baked Egg in an Avocado

Preheat oven to 425°


1. Start by cutting the avocado in half by taking the knife in a circular motion around from top to bottom around the pit.

2. Remove the pit.  If necessary, in order to have more egg in the center, scoop out a little bit of the avocado meat from the center.  Place the halves, still in the skin onto a piece of sturdy foil, and bunch the foil around the avocados so that they won't tilt and spill all of your eggs out. 

3. Scramble one egg and season as desired. I chose a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

4. Bake for 20-25 minutes - or until egg is completely cooked through.

5. Enjoy!
