Another interesting way to mix avocado with eggs is to bake your eggs in the avocado. Simply divide the avocado in two, scoop out some of the avocado to make room for the egg. Then break a whole egg into each half, sprinkle seasoning of your choice and bake in an oven or microwave for two minutes.

 

6. Stuffed avocado

A very interesting way to eat your avocado is to have it stuffed. Why this is interesting is because you can stuff your avocado with anything from eggs to tuna, chicken, vegetables and fruits. After stuffing half of your avocado, bake it in the oven for 15–20 at 425℉ (220℃). After baking, you can top it up with crumbled, cooked bacon and season it with fresh herbs and spices like parsley, cayenne pepper, salt and regular pepper.

 

 

7. Place them on your toast

If you’re sceptical about using butter or margarine with your toast, then let avocados come to the rescue. Use puréed avocado as a substitute to spread on your toast or sandwich. 

 

8. Eat them grilled

They can also be grilled just like your regular meat. Remove the seed from them, drizzle with lemon juice and then brush them down with olive oil. Then place the cut side on the grill and cook for 2-3 minutes. After grilling, season with salt and pepper or any other topping of your choice. Enjoy.

 

9. Use them as toppings

They make great toppings for many snacks like sandwiches, burgers, pizza, and hot-dogs.

 

10. Eat as fries

Rather than gobble down on unhealthy French fries, you can eat avocado fries. You can either deep fry or bake them. After this, you can enjoy them with sauces such as ketchup or mustard.
