Chef Emma’s Helpful Tips

To ensure perfect results, here are my best kitchen secrets:

  • Make-Ahead Avocados: If you’re prepping for a crowd, mash the avocados with a squeeze of lime juice to keep them fresh longer.

  • Perfect Egg Techniques: Poached eggs can be tricky; try adding a splash of vinegar to the boiling water for a beautifully rounded egg.

  • Storage Suggestions: If you have leftovers (though rare!), store the avocado mash in an airtight container with plastic wrap pressed against the surface to prevent browning.

  • Slicing Tricks: For a clean cut across the avocado, use a sharp knife and scoop with a spoon to avoid browning.
