The Mouthgasmic, Explosively Delicious Eggocado

³ Description

If you're an egg and/or avocado fiend, listen up. The Eggocado is a quick, explosively delicious way to throw a fresh twist on the monotonous, colorless egg creations you’ve likely been whipping up for years.

² Ingredients

•  1 extra large Egg
•  1/2 Juice of 1 lemon (2-1/8" dia) Fresh Lemon Juice
•  2 avocado, NS as to Florida or California Avocados
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 tsp) Spice Classics Paprika
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 tsp) McCormick Peppercorn Medley Grinder
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 tsp) Adams Cayenne Pepper
•  1 serving (serving = 1/4 tsp) McCormick Ground Cumin

q Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 425º. Grab a sharp knife, cutting board, and a frying pan or baking tray.

2. Cut two avocados down the center into even halves.

3. Using a sharp knife, carefully de-pit both avocado halves.

Chop the pit so that the knife digs in firmly. Hold the avocado half with one hand and twist the knife with the other — the pit should pop right out and leave the “bowl” clean and intact.

4. Flip the halves over and trim off a thin slice from the bottom. Pretend that it’s avocado carpaccio.

Cutting off the bottom creates a flat edge and lets the avocados sit upright, that way all of the egg-y deliciousness won’t spill out.

5. Crack two eggs into a measuring cup and whip briskly until it’s consistent. To your own taste, add a dashing of salt & pepper and a few squirts of Cholula, Frank’s, Tabasco, Sriracha etc. directly into the egg mixture.

6. Place the avocado halves on a frying pan or baking tray, and pour the egg mixture evenly into each half. It’s okay — and encouraged — if the egg spills around the rim.

7. SPICE IT UP! Squirt on a little bit of fresh-squeezed lemon — that’s mainly to prevent oxidation and the avocados from getting brown — and then sprinkle the tops with salt and pepper, cumin, paprika, and a dusting of cayenne.

8. Pop the pan/tray in the oven for 18 minutes — it should be roughly the equivalent of a runny, sunny side up egg once it’s done. Feel free to cook it longer if you like your eggs more well-done.

9. ENJOY PROFUSELY. Cayenne + cumin + paprika + hot sauce + S&P is just one possible combo.
Like you’d do with a loaded omelette or fried eggs — get creative and EXPERIMENT!

Cheese, pico de gallo, salsa, and turkey bacon bits are just a few possible add-ons to infuse additional layers of flavor.
