SALT: 0.6g

SUGAR: 1.5g

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 220ºC / Fan 200ºC.
  2. Cut the avocado in half and remove the stone (leave skin on). Scoop out a little of the flesh to create a larger hole.
  3. Crack an egg into each avocado half, top with a few chives and season with pepper. To stop them overflowing, pour each egg into a ramekin, spoon the yolk into the avocado and add the white gradually.
  4. Put the avocado halves into the oven and bake for about 10 minutes or until the white is set and the yolk is still runny.
  5. Once the eggs are cooked, serve each avocado half with a slice of toast.
