A stuffed avocado is perfect for breakfast and only takes minutes to make. If you are in a real hurry use your microwave. Serve with salsa and tortillas.

​

Ingredients

• 1 large avocado

• Olive oil

• 2 whole eggs

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Top with cheese, crumbled bacon, seafood, etc.

​

Method

Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Halve an avocado and remove the pit. Place one half in a ring of aluminum foil so it stays upright. Brush with olive oil. You might need to scoop out some of the flesh before adding the egg to the hollow of the avocado. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Broil for 5 minutes. Serve with a tortilla and an avocado margarita.

​

Before avocado toast became popular, there was guacamole.

​

Prep time: 10 minutes

​

Ingredients

• 2 avocados. Since avocados are sold per unit, choose the biggest ones you can find. 

• 1/4 small red onion, finely minced

• 1/2 tomato, diced

• 1-2 tablespoons lime juice

• 1 clove of minced garlic (I like my guac garlicy)

• 3-3 tablespoons chopped cilantro

• ½ finely minced fresh jalapeño (add seeds for heat

• Kosher salt and freshly cracked black pepper to taste

​

Method

• Place avocado flesh in a medium bowl.

• Mash with a fork, or potato masher until slightly lumpy.

• Mix in the remaining ingredients and adjust seasoning. I like the burst of flavor, so tend to double the up on jalapeño and garlic.

Guacamole may be served with tortilla chips, but I serve it with nearly every  dish I make.

​

Serves 4, or serves 1, if you’re me
