Eggs in Avocado

Today we are starting our 5 DAYS Of EGG DISHES that were voted in on our Facebook page so I’m starting with Eggs In Avocado. I love eggs, I crave them. A plain old fried egg is good but I love to jazz things up a bit.

Having seen this around on the internet and on TV and was dying to try this out. I adore avos and poached eggs, so to put them together would be a real hit!!

I have had warm avocado before done in tempura and fell in love with the warm creaminess!!

The eggs were done to a runny perfection, perfect for dipping toast into!! I loved the heat of the jalapeno with this dish, it was so perfect with all the creaminess of the avocado and egg!!
