How do you do? You do avocado – all day, every day. Avocado toast or mayo-free potato salad are two big ways to do the foodie favorite, but your menu doesn’t have to end there. Elevate avocados from side to main during breakfast, lunch or dinner with a simple-as-can-be baked avocado egg. In 20 minutes or less, you’ve got a nutritious and delicious dish whether it’s 7 a.m. or a breakfast-for-dinner kind of night. Your new motto now? Avocado-do!
