# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It transforms five minutes and a few ingredients into something that feels like restaurant quality breakfast
  • The combination of textures and flavors wakes up your palate better than any sugary cereal
02 -
  • I've ruined perfectly good avocados by using ones that were underripe, give them a gentle squeeze test first
  • Working quickly once you start assembling matters because temperature contrast is everything here
03 -
  • Leave the pit in the half of avocado you're not using to keep it fresh longer in the fridge
  • Room temperature avocados mash more smoothly than cold ones straight from the fridge
