In honor of National Cholesterol Education Month, I wanted to post a great egg recipe. Unfortunately, eggs have a bad rep due to their cholesterol content. What people often forget is that eggs contain over 40 different proteins, vitamins and minerals, and increases LDL cholesterol (the healthy kind you want to have). Eggs are a staple ingredient in baking, quiches, omelets, and are great by themselves boiled or sunny side up. (I'll be posting how to make the perfect boiled egg at a later date.) Here is a super simple recipe that is low sugar and fiber filled! Not to mention has nearly 40 mg of Omega-3's per serving!

Ingredients:
2 Avocados
4 Eggs
Pepper to taste
Chives to taste
4 Tablespoons Salsa
Directions:
Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Slice avocados in half and take out the pit. Scoop out just enough avocado to ensure the egg will sit snugly. Place the avocado in a small baking dish.
Crack an egg and place in the scooped out avocado. Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the egg whites have set.
Remove from oven, season with pepper, chives, and a tablespoon of your favorite salsa.
