Well, I recently joined the Pinterest world and LOVE looking at all the food/recipes on the website! The only thing is that some things look too good to be true. You must read these recipes with some skepticism if the food looks too good to be true! When I saw a picture of an egg baked in an avocado I was a little skeptical... For one, the picture looked too perfect (above picture); Two, I couldn't imagine what a baked Avocado was going to turn out like, especially with an egg in the middle! But, despite my skepticism, I decided to give it a try!
For starters, I first preheated the oven to 425 degrees farenheit. I then hallowed out an avocado like recipe said to do; leaving a small edge around the inside of the avocado. Note to reader: Avocados never look as good as the pictures, they are going to have brown spots.
I then cracked an egg into each half of the avocado. While I was putting each egg into the halves I realized that an avocado does not sit flat... obviously. So naturally the spilled over the sides a little bit. I had to push the avocados down on the counter a bit so they sat more flat.
After I got the avocados to sit a little more flat on the pan I placed them in the oven for about 20 minutes; which was longer than the original recipe said. When I pulled the avocados out of the oven I realized how brown the avocado had turned, which does not give the dish style points. But overall it looked pretty good! I did end up sprinkling them with a little bit of salt and pepper just for some added flavor.
Trying out the avocado and egg was very interesting. The texture of the dish was really strange but the flavor was good! I did actually really like this dish, but it is not very appealing to the eyes. I would make this again, although I think it would just be easier to scramble up some eggs and put avocado on the top. So, as far as a Pinterest recipe goes, it was okay:) Good try, Pinterest!
