Baked Italian Avocado Eggs

I saw this recipe on Life Hacker a few weeks ago and was intrigued. It didn't help that I had recently purchased a bag of avocados from Costco. I was really worried I couldn't eat them all before they went bad. Boy was I wrong, real wrong! I tried the recipe on Life Hacker, but quickly realized it was missing something. Hence a new recipe was born!

Baked Italian Avocado Eggs

Serves: 2

Calories: 236

Ingredients:

- 1 medium Avocado

- 1/2-3/4 cup Egg Whites

- Salt and Pepper

- Oregano (dried)

- 2 slices of a Roma Tomato

- Shredded Swiss Cheese

Directions:

- Preheat oven to 425

- Cut avocado in half and take out pit (be careful and don't cut yourself)

- Place avocado in a oven safe pan (I used a cast iron skillet)

- Pour the Egg Whites into each Avocado half. Only pour in enough Egg to fill the hole left by the Avocado pit.

- Sprinkle Salt, Pepper and Oregano

- Place a Roma Tomato slice on top of the Egg

- Place in oven and cook for about 10-12 minutes

- Remove dish and top with Swiss Cheese

- Bake for an addition 1-3 minutes

- Garnish with Oregano (wish I had remembered to do this the first time around!!) and enjoy!

Now you should really share this with someone (your sweetie perhaps?) but I'll be honest I enjoyed the entire avocado all by myself. Sorry Jay!

Have a great weekend everybody!!
