Power Breakfast: Quail Eggs Baked in Avocado w/ Pancetta

Did you know quail eggs are considered a superfood?? They're tiny in size, but contain more potassium, iron, vitamin A/B1/B2, and percentage of protein than chicken eggs.  Not to mention, they fit perfectly inside the hollow of an avocado- another nutrient-dense superfood!  

Prep Time: 5 min
Cook Time: 15-20 min
Serves: 2

Ingredients 
1 avocado
2 quail eggs 
1 oz. pancetta
1 finely chopped cherry tomato
salt and pepper to taste



Directions
Fry pancetta or bacon until crisp. Cut the avocado in half and pit. Crack a quail egg in the hollow of each shell.  Sprinkle some salt and pepper, if you want.  Add pancetta, garnish with a slice of cherry tomato, and bake at 425 degrees for about 15-20 minutes.


*You can use a regular chicken egg too, but you will need to scrape a bit of the avocado to make room.  This rich, healthy, low-carb breakfast is guaranteed to keep you energized and full throughout the morning. It's also really delicious.
