Flavoring Ingredients:
- 1 red chili
- 1–2 sprigs of fresh coriander

Instructions
- Warm the oven to 425°F (218°C), ensuring the highest temperature setting for optimal cooking.
- Select a small cast-iron skillet or ceramic baking dish and lightly coat the interior with extra virgin olive oil to prevent sticking.
- Gently crack fresh eggs directly into the prepared skillet, spacing them evenly to allow uniform cooking.
- Carefully slice the vibrant red chili pepper into delicate, thin rings, scattering them artfully across the egg surface for a spicy kick.
- Skillfully peel the ripe avocado and slice it into elegant, fan-like segments, creating a visually appealing arrangement around the eggs.
- Squeeze fresh lime juice over the avocado slices, enhancing their flavor and preventing browning while adding a bright, citrusy note.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 7 to 10 minutes, monitoring until egg whites become completely set but yolks remain delightfully runny.
- Remove from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped coriander leaves, adding a burst of color and herbaceous flavor.
- Serve immediately alongside warm, buttered toast and additional lime wedges for squeezing, creating a delectable and visually stunning breakfast dish.
