Mashed Avocado
Avocados for brunch? Groundbreaking. While this isn’t a life-changing recipe (except for those who’ve only discovered avocados since Queer Eye rebooted), everyone has their own way of preparing them. This is mine. My approach is a nod to Nigella Lawson—it’s fuss-free. Lime adds acidity, ginger adds zing, and salt is essential for balance. The key is using ripe avocados. While I have you, why not make your own homemade English muffins to complete the perfect breakfast or brunch?
