The story of the Green Egg and Ham was made famous by Dr. Seuss with a whimsical story about enjoying our green vegetables in the hope to encourage more children to jump on the bandwagon! Not just for children, however, everyone enjoys a well poached egg with extra crispy bacon served inside a creamy avocado shell. Served with some green salad, this makes for quite a delicious breakfast surprise.
To make Green Egg and Ham, you will need the following ingredients:
Using a spoon, widen the hole in the center of the avocado to fit the size of a hard-boiled egg and carefully remove the flesh.
Place a sheet of plastic wrap over a small bowl, lightly grease it with oil and crack open an egg onto it. Take care not to break the yolk.
Carefully close the plastic wrap so that the egg sits in it like a bag and transfer to a pot of simmering water. Cook for 5 minutes.
Once cooked, transfer the egg to the pit in the avocado. Close the 2 avocado halves by wrapping slices of bacon around tightly, leaving no avocado exposed.
In a frying pan, heat some oil and cook the bacon until browned and crispy on all sides.
Serve and enjoy!
