How To Make avocado, sausage & eggs on toast

• 
  1

  Gather together all your ingredients
• 
  2

  Cut the avocado in half, lengthwise, and then remove and discard the seed.
• 
  3

  Chef's Note: How do you tell if an avocado is ripe? Press against the skin using your thumb. If it leaves an indentation… it's ripe. If it feels like you're pushing against a brick, it needs a few more days.
• 4

  Scoop an area out of the avocado that’s just big enough to hold the egg yolk, and a portion of the egg white.
• 
  5

  Crack the eggs into a large bowl… don’t break the yolks.
• 
  6

  Cook the sausage in a pan until cooked through.
• 
  7

  Remove sausage from pan, dice, and reserve.
• 
  8

  Place a rack in the middle position, and then pre-heat the oven to 425f (220c).
• 
  9

  Using a small serving spoon, carefully place an egg yolk into each of the avocados, and then add as much egg white as you can until the space is full.

  Chef’s Note: Unless your avocados are huge, you’ll probably have some leftover egg whites.

  Chef’s Tip: The trick here is in keeping the round avocados upright during the baking process. I use a large muffin tin to accomplish this.
• 
  12

  Sprinkle half the salt, pepper, and mustard powder on each of the avocados, and then, to top it off, add half the cheese to each.
• 
  13

  Place in the preheated oven, and then bake for 12 minutes or, if you would like the yolks a bit firmer, keep them in for 15 minutes.
• 
  14

  While the eggs are baking, toast and butter two large slices of bread, and place on individual plates.
• 
  15

  Lay half the diced sausage onto each slice of bread.
• 
  16

  Remove the avocados from the oven, and allow to rest for 3 to 4 minutes.
• 17

  Use a serving spoon, to gently remove the avocado/egg mixture out of the skin, and lay on top of the bread.
• 
  18

  Press down slightly, until the yolk breaks, and serve immediately.
•

  Chef's Note: Many times, when I make this dish, I skip the toast, and meat, pull them out of the oven, and eat them right out of the avocado skin with a spoon… YUM.
