Baked Avocado Breakfast

So I made this this morning, and it was super yummy! I've included a picture.

Here are the ingredients for the main part:

1 red pepper
2 poblano peppers
1 avocado
2 cloves of garlic
butter
salt
pepper
a handful of spinach leaves

What to do:

Cut the tips off poblanos and cut in half.
Clip red peppers so they lay mostly flat

Put both types of peppers under the broiler with a little oil, salt, and pepper. Broil until the skins are black and bubbling. I sometimes flip the peppers if they are thicker (red pepper usually) so they are more soft and roasted through.

Let cool and then pull off skins and slice however you like.

With the avocado:

Pre-heat oven to 350 or 375.
Cut avocado in half and de-pit.
I then cut a slice off the top of each half that was about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Scoop out a little of the remained center on the 'bowl' parts to have a deeper bowl.

Use a tab of butter and cook 2 cloves of garlic (I use my garlic press, but you could chop) with some salt and pepper. Then add all parts of the avocado (the bowls face down). Cook, flipping the 'flat' pieces over.
After a couple minutes, take out the bowl parts of the avocado.
(I placed them in little tart tins and then put the tins in a corning ware dish with some water in it so that the egg didn't drip when it got added.)

Pour an egg each in the centers of the remaining flat parts of the avocado (you may have wanted to make the hole a little bigger so not as much spills out).
Let cook until the bottom of the egg is white and you can slip a spatula underneath without it breaking and dripping through.
Place the 'flat' avocado with egg on top of their respective half.

Add spinach into pan to sautee.

Put in the oven. I cooked for probably at least 10-15 minutes, but I just looked for the eggwhite to turn white and the yoke to darken just a little.

For plating:

I ate this with a sauce that I make for spaghetti squash, so I'll include that too....

Sautee garlic and basil leaves in a saucepan.
Add in a small can of tomato paste and the juice of 1 lemon.
Add a bit of cream (probably about 1/4 cup).
Stir in 6 oz of goat cheese.
Salt and pepper to taste.
Taste. I added in some apple cider vinegar (I think) to add liquid.
Crushed red pepper adds a little heat which is nice.


I had some of this left over and I spooned it onto the place. Sauteed spinach on top of sauce.
Pepper around.
Slice of Ezekial to help soak up the egg yolk.
Avocado nearby. :)

I cut it all up and ate a bit of everything with each bite. Super yummy.

And I think this may be tasty, even without the egg, though for that you may want to de-skin the avocado and slice it so you can really get the garlic and all the flavor on all sides since you won't have the egg.

You also don't need to use the above sauce.

Anyway, play around with it! It really was very tasty!
