How to Pick Avocados?
TIPS FOR AVOCADOS: Use the following info to help you choose your avocado. Aside from the overripe avocados I will usually buy 2-3 of each kind so that I have perfectly ripe avocados all week long. Avocados ripen off of the tree. To test an avocado hold it in the palm of your hand and gently press with your fingers.
If the avocado has a lot of give and feels mushy then it is too ripe and leave it at the market. If the avocado has some give and feels soft then it perfect to use within 2-3 days before it become overripe. An avocado that has some give but still feels firm is labeled as “breaking” and is almost ripe. Let it sit at room temperature for 1-2 more days for it to becomes perfectly ripe. An avocado that feels completely firm will need 4-5 more days at room temperature to fully ripen. To slow down the ripening process store avocados in the fridge. A perfectly ripe avocado can last 2-3 days at room temperature or 3-5 days in the fridge.

Baked avocado egg Variations + Tips
There are so many ways to change up baked avocado eggs and add a bit more flavor. Here are some suggestions:
Mexican – Use Mexican cheese, add chopped peppers or green chilis Greek – Use feta cheese and sausage instead of bacon. You can also add chopped spinach! 3 meat – Use mozzarella and add bacon, ham and sausage to the eggs
Can I freeze bacon and egg avocados? Though raw avocados can be frozen successfully, these baked avocados are best eaten right away. They can be kept in the fridge for 1-2 days and reheated, but I do not recommend freezing them.
Mmmm! I admit that I sometimes eat an avocado for breakfast or even for lunch, but eating it with the cooked egg, cheese and bacon in the middle is even better!
