Title: Egg and Cheese Stuffed Avocado
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
1 ripe avocado
2 large eggs
1 ounce shredded low-fat cheese (such as cheddar or mozzarella)
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as chives or parsley)
Cooking spray or olive oil for greasing
Instructions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Cut the avocado in half and remove the pit. Scoop out a little bit of the flesh to create more room for the filling, but be careful not to break the skin.
3. Place the avocado halves in a small baking dish, cut side up. Lightly spray or brush the insides with cooking spray or olive oil.
4. Crack one egg into each avocado half, being careful not to spill over.
5. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Sprinkle the shredded cheese over the eggs.
6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 12 to 15 minutes, or until the eggs are set to your desired doneness and the cheese is melted.
7. Once cooked, remove from the oven and let cool slightly. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired before serving.
