Avo Smash

This will last for about 2 days in an airtight container, with plastic wrap pressed onto the surface of the smash to prevent oxidation. Pressing down eliminates any air pockets that might also cause the pesky brown spots. Use it to make Egg Shops wildly popular Avo and Egg toast.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    Makes 6 cups

Ingredients

6 avocados
Juice of 2 Meyer lemons
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Preparation

  1. Halve, pit, and peel the avocados. In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the avocado halves. Remember that you aren’t making guacamole! The smash should have some funky chunk to it, with some smooth parts, some baby bits, and a few big mama bits! Add the lemon juice and salt and give one final mix to combine.
