Grilled Avocado “Toad in a Hole”
Ingredients
- 2 large avocados
- ¼ cup (60 mL) diced smoked ham
- 1 tsp lime juice
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- 4 eggs
Instructions
- Step 1
Preheat grill to 350˚F (180˚C).
- Step 2
Make foil ‘boats’ for avocados to sit in by folding up sides of four 8 x 6” (20 x 15 cm) pieces of aluminum foil while leaving the base flat.
- Step 3
Cut avocados in half lengthwise and remove pits.
- Step 4
Scoop out avocado ‘meat’ with a spoon, leaving 1/4” (1 cm) around the sides.
- Step 5
Roughly mash avocado ‘meat’ with spoon. Fold in smoked ham. Season lightly with lime juice, salt and pepper.
- Step 6
Spoon mixture back into avocado shells. Smooth it out so filling is flush with the top of each shell.
- Step 7
With the back of the spoon, create a well in each avocado half large enough for an egg to fit into. You may need to remove some of the filling (reserve as garnish).
- Step 8
Place avocado halves onto foil boats. Crack an egg into a small bowl, then gently transfer into avocado. Be sure not to break the yolk. Repeat with remaining eggs and avocado halves.
- Step 9
Carefully place avocados and eggs onto grill. Cook with lid down until whites are set, approximately 15 to 20 minutes.
- Step 10
Finish with a pinch of salt and pepper and any reserved avocado and ham mixture.
