Chef's Notes

Avocado Selection Tips

  • Perfect ripeness: The avocado should yield slightly to gentle pressure but not be mushy
  • Color check: Look for dark, almost black skin with no soft spots
  • The stem test: If you can easily flick off the small stem and it’s green underneath, it’s ripe
  • Storage: Keep ripe avocados in the fridge for 2-3 extra days

This became our go-to quick breakfast when we needed something healthy and satisfying. The everything bagel seasoning makes all the difference!
