Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan). Scoop a little extra flesh out of each avocado half so the hole is large enough for an egg. Keep the scooped bit.
- 2
Set the halves in a small baking dish, wedged in with crumpled foil so they stay level.
- 3
Crack an egg into each hole. If the whites spill over, spoon some out. Season with black pepper.
- 4
Bake for 16 minutes, until the whites are set and the yolks still slightly soft. Add 3 to 4 minutes for a firm yolk.
16 min - 5
Chop the saved avocado and toss with the tomatoes, lime juice and coriander.
- 6
Top the eggs with chilli flakes and chives and serve with the tomato salad.
