Instructions

  • 1.   Idea 1: Simple and natural
    Cook the eggs in a large pot of boiling water for 10 minutes. (If you want to eat the egg cold, cook it in advance and set it aside.)
    Cut an avocado in half and remove the pit.
    Chop the egg and place it in the avocado.
    Sprinkle with a little chives. Season with salt and pepper. Enjoy!
  • 2.   Idea 2: Sliced (see photo)
    Cut the hard-boiled eggs (quail eggs) in half and set aside.
    Wash the avocado and cut it into slices without removing the pit. Carefully remove the slices and peel them. Drizzle the avocado with lemon juice to preserve its color.
    Place the avocado slices with half an egg in the center (on a bed of lettuce, for example).
    Serve with sauce: mix oil with 1 tablespoon of lemon juice, then season with salt and pepper.
  • 3.   Idea 3: Baked
    Cut your avocado in half and remove the pit. Hollow out the hole a bit if it's not big enough. Add an egg to each avocado half (you can remove some of the egg white beforehand).
    Crumble fresh goat cheese, gruyere, bacon, or parmesan on top... season with salt and pepper.
    Bake for 10 minutes at 200°C (400°F). Serve sprinkled with chopped chives.
  • 4.   Idea 4: Sunny-side up!
    Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and drizzle it with lemon juice to prevent browning.
    Melt a little butter in a pan, carefully crack the eggs and cook them sunny-side up to your liking.
    Slide the eggs onto the avocado halves, season with pepper, spices, add a pinch of fleur de sel and chives. Enjoy immediately!
  • 5.   Idea 5: Soft-boiled toast!
    Cut the avocados in half, peel them, and cut generous slices about 1 cm thick.
    Boil a pot of water, add the eggs and cook for 5 minutes, then transfer the eggs to a bowl of very cold water (with ice cubes is even better) to stop the cooking process.
    Arrange on slices of bread (golden brown in a pan with a little olive oil and rubbed with garlic and tomato for extra flavor):
    Place avocado slices, season with salt, pepper, sprinkle with paprika and minced shallots. Place a soft-boiled egg (without the shell :) and cut it in half, letting the yolk run onto the toast!
  • 6.   Idea 6: Mimosa
    Cook the eggs in a large pot of boiling water for 10 minutes, then dice them.
    Mash half an avocado with mustard, salt, the juice of 1/4 lemon, and diced onions using a fork. (The tuna mayo version works too!)
    Present on the other half of the avocado and serve with chives on bread or cucumbers.
  • 7.   Idea 7: Upside-down mimosa! (for this recipe, double the number of eggs)
    In a pot of boiling water, cook the eggs for 10 minutes. Peel them under running water, then cut them in half and remove the yolks.
    Finely blend coriander with a quartered spring onion. Add the avocado flesh and lemon juice, then blend again. Add the egg yolks, season with salt and pepper, and blend one last time.
    Fill the egg whites with this mixture, preferably using a piping bag, or simply with a spoon.
  • 8.   Idea 8: In the microwave!
    Mash the half avocado with a fork and lemon juice.
    Season with salt and pepper, then spread the avocado puree in a ramekin.
    Create a well in the center of the puree.
    Separate the egg white from the yolk.
    Pour the egg white into the well, along with spoonfuls of cream.
    Microwave for 30 seconds at 850 watts.
    Wait for 30 seconds, then microwave for another 30 seconds.
    Add the egg yolk and microwave for an additional 20 seconds.
