Week 35: Avocado - Baked Avocado with Egg and Chorizo [Baking]

Intro from Baking Challenge: This week's challenge is...avocado! This creamy delicious fruit (yes, it is technically a fruit) is often used fresh in guacamole, and is a fantastic addition to many sandwiches. But, how to incorporate it into a baked good? Did you know that, as a healthier alternative, you can actually substitute avocado for some of the butter in a recipe? There are a lot of other surprising ways that you can use avocado in baking. Some lovely savory options include baked eggs in avocado (yes, please!) and avocado crostini. If you're feeling like something sweet, avocado's creaminess lends itself well as an addition to icing , or even an avocado pie. Happy baking!

Oh man, were these delicious! I made them on a Saturday morning for a weekend breakfast treat. I used the recipe here for the eggs, using little crescents of tin foil to help hold the avocado halves level. When they were just about done, I fried up some bacon and then fried the diced chorizo in the leftover bacon fat (which was AMAZING). I will absolutely be making these again.
