Repeat with remaining egg yolk, egg white, and avocado. Season each filled avocado with chives, parsley, sea salt, and pepper.
- Gently place baking dish in the preheated oven and bake until eggs are cooked, about 15 minutes. Sprinkle bacon over avocado.

Steps:
- Next time you make an egg-in-a-hole, consider using avocado instead of bread: Cut an avocado in half, remove the pit and scoop out about 1 tablespoon of flesh from each half. Season with salt and pepper and nestle the halves cut-side up in a small pile of salt on a baking sheet so they won't wobble. Crack a medium egg into each (a large egg will overflow). Season with salt and bake at 425 degrees F until the white is just set, 16 to 18 minutes; top with pico de gallo and crushed tortilla chips.

SOFT SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH AVOCADO
Steps:
- Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the cream and whisk until the eggs look foamy and light. Heat a 10-inch non-stick skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter until it foams, then turn the heat down to low and slowly pour in the eggs. Using a heat resistant rubber spatula, slowly stir the eggs from the outside of the pan to the center. Once the eggs begin to set, stirring slowly will create large, cloud-like curds. This sounds easy but perfect scrambled eggs that are soft and custard-like with no brown color are a sign of a really good cook. This process takes about 10 minutes. Season the eggs with a few cranks of black pepper and good salt, like fleur de sel. Serve with a few slices of avocado and a little chopped fresh chive.

Steps:
- Mix eggs, cream, salt & pepper with a fork; stir in avocado.
- Heat butter in skillet over medium heat until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water;.
- Pour mixture into skillet. I personally like to add cream cheese at this time. As egg mixture begins to set at bottom and side, lift cooked portion with spatula so that thin, uncooked portion can flow to bottom. Avoid constant stirring. Cook until eggs are thickened throughout but still moist.
- Sprinkle tomato if desired.
- Remove from heat and sprinkle bacon on servings.

Tips:
- Choose ripe avocados. Avocados should be firm but slightly soft to the touch. Avoid avocados that are too hard or too soft.
- Use fresh eggs. Fresh eggs will give you the best results. If you don't have fresh eggs, you can use store-bought eggs, but they may not be as flavorful.
- Add your favorite toppings. You can add a variety of toppings to your egg in avocado, such as cheese, bacon, salsa, or guacamole. Get creative and experiment with different flavors.
- Enjoy immediately. Egg in avocado is best enjoyed immediately after it is made. The avocado will start to brown after a few minutes, so it's best to eat it right away.
Conclusion:
Egg in avocado is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. It's a great way to get your daily dose of protein, vitamins, and minerals.
