💭Top Tips
- Make sure to use room temperature ripe fresh avocados, as they will be easier to work with and provide a creamier texture.
- Use extra large avocados and medium-sized eggs. Otherwise, the egg whites might overflow from the avocados.
- Crack the eggs into a small bowl before pouring them into the avocado. This helps to prevent spilling.
- Don’t over-stuff the halves so that the egg can cook evenly.
