Don’t be fooled by their prickly outer shells. Avocados are life for most millennials, and some of us need our daily avocado fix. They’re easily the most addictive and tastiest toppers out there and can add flavor and silky texture to any dish. Bursting with nutrients, minerals and heart-healthy fats, these tasty super-fruits are also super healthy. The green monsters are also versatile and can be served smashed, sliced, chopped, smoothied, rolled in sushi or baked. There’s actually so many ways to eat and prepare them, that there are even entire cafes dedicated to avocados. So we’ve compiled a hot list of the most surprising and tastiest avocado crazes since Guacamole.
The Tastiest Avocado Crazes Since Guacomole
Avocados Filled With Poached Eggs
When we first saw this pinterest-worthy,recipe, we cleared our schedules for the rest of the day and had no choice but to try it! It’s actually divine and super easy to prepare, simply:
- Heat a non-stick skillet to low heat and spray some light oil on it
- Slice a ripe avocado with the skin on in half length-wise
- Take away the seed and use a spoon or a small cookie cutter to make a round hole in the center of your slice. Then place the avocado slice into a pan.
- Then all you have to do is crack a medium sized egg into the center of the hole. Then cover the pan and cook it for one or two minutes, until the egg is cooked just the way you like it
- Just in case the egg white is not cooking as fast as it could do, you can sprinkle some water in the pan and then cover and cook it. The steam from the pan will actually help cook the whites.
- Then just season with salt, pepper and lemon and and serve.
- You can serve it on toast, or why not satisfy your extra avocado cravings with an avocado and tomato salad, or add some some guacamole….
