How to tell an avocado is ripe
If the avocado yields to firm gentle pressure you know it’s ripe and ready-to-eat. Ripe, ready to eat avocados may have a darker color but color can vary so it is best to go by feel as well as color. It will feel lightly soft but it will not feel “mushy” to the touch.

- Scoop out about a tablespoon of avocado to allow room for the egg. Scoop wide rather than deep to ensure eggs bake evenly.
