Recipe: Avocado Egg Cups (cooked in a skillet)

AVOCADO EGG CUPS

1 avocado
2 eggs
Salt and pepper, to taste
Sriracha or other hot sauce, to taste (optional)
Toast (for serving)

Halve and pit an avocado. Cut a thin slice from the bottom of each half (to stabilize them). 

Put the halves into a skillet set over medium-low heat. Crack an egg into the center of each avocado half. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg is as you like it, 2 to 3 minutes. 

Season with salt and pepper. Add a splash of Sriracha or other hot sauce, if you wish. Serve with toast.

VARIATION:
Try topping it with scallions, bacon bits, or shredded parmesan, too.
