Tips

Avocado is a highly appreciated subtropical fruit, rich in beneficial properties and extremely versatile in cuisine. When you buy it, choose a fruit that is ripe but not too much; it must not be excessively hard to the touch, nor too yielding to the pressure of the fingers. If you find only firm flesh, buy it and keep it for a few days at room temperature until you get the desired level of ripeness.

You can change the recipe as you prefer; instead of diced bacon you can put raw ham, cooked ham or speck. In addition, you can add your favorite aromatic herbs to the recipe; chives, thyme, rosemary but also basil will be fine.

Preservation

We advise you to eat baked avocado immediately after preparing it, in order to enjoy all the flavors of the recipe.
