Test Kitchen tips
  • For a buttery texture and flavor, be sure to use a ripe avocado. To speed its ripening, place it in a brown paper bag along with an apple or kiwifruit.
  • If your avocado is ripe before you need it, refrigerate it and it'll stay at its peak a few days longer.
  • To store leftover avocado, sprinkle the cut surface with lemon juice and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap; use within a day.
  • If you're more comfortable cooking your egg in a skillet, sunny side up or over-easy eggs would be delicious, too!
