 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

2 Avocados
\nKosher Salt and freshly ground Black Pepper4 tablespoons Olive Oil
\n4 large Eggs
\n1 cup Cherry Tomatoes (halved)
\n1\/2 cup fresh Basil leaves (torn)
\n1 Lime (grated zest and juice)<\/p>\n

Put a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat.<\/p>\n

Halve each avocado lengthwise. Peel and pit the halves. Using a spoon, scoop out some of the avocado where the pits were to form a donut hole that goes clear through each half. Lay the avocados out on a cutting board, top with plastic wrap, and gently press down to slightly flatten the pieces. The idea is to make thick but flat slices, each with a hole in the center. Season both sides with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

To the preheated pan, add 2 tablespoons of the olive oil. Add the avocado slices cut-sides down and cook until they begin to brown, about 1 minute. Flip the avocados and carefully crack 1 egg into each hole. Season the eggs with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook until the egg whites have set up but the yolks are still runny, about 3 minutes.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, mix together the tomatoes, basil, lime zest and juice, and remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Season with salt and pepper.<\/p>\n

Top each avocado and egg with some tomato salad and serve.<\/p>\n
