Description

This delicious egg skillet, featuring avocado and Ro-Tel tomatoes, is a quick and easy dish perfect for brunch.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 can (10 oz.) Ro-Tel tomatoes
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced lengthwise into 10 slices
  • to taste Vege-Sal and fresh-ground black pepper
  • 4 eggs

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400F/200C.
  2. Break eggs into individual ramekins and let the eggs come to room temperature while you proceed with the recipe. (This might seem a bit fussy, but if you start with cold eggs the yolks will get too done by the time the whites are cooked.)
  3. Spray a medium-sized ovenproof frying pan with non-stick spray or brush with oil, add the tomatoes, and start to simmer over medium heat. I highly recommend using a Cast Iron Skillet for this if you have it.
  4. While the tomatoes simmer, peel the avocado, cut in half, and then cut each half into 5 thin slices.
  5. When all the liquid has evaporated from the tomatoes (about 4-5 minutes), turn the heat to low and arrange the avocado slices like spokes of a wheel in the pan.
  6. Gently put each egg between two avocado slices, spacing them evenly apart.
  7. Season to taste with Vege-Sal or salt and fresh-ground black pepper.
  8. Put the skillet into the pre-heated oven and bake until whites are completely set and the yolks are done to your liking, about 10-12 minutes for runny yolks.
  9. Serve the egg skillet hot. This is good with Green Tabasco Sauce to add at the table.
