Baked Egg in Avocado Boat

Avocado is a great addition to any diet because of its countless health benefits; it's low in sugar, high in fiber, and is a good fat which helps lower cholesterol. Another benefit of avocados is that they have a lot of protein, making it a great food to have after a workout. You can add it to salads, wraps, or even make guacamole to dip with veggies. This morning, I decided to pair my avocado with a quail's egg. Eggs are also high in protein, which makes this a filling breakfast or a great post-workout meal.

                       

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Cut one avocado in half and remove the pit. Crack one egg into the hole- I used a quail's egg but any egg will work. Place in the oven on a baking sheet for about 15-18 minutes, depending on how well done you like your egg. Remove carefully and season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper. Now just serve and enjoy!
