Avocado overindulgence help.

I’ve bought 4 avocados having forgotten I had already bought 4 avocados. What am I now making??? Guacamole is a given… what about the other 5/6?? Keen to hear fun new ideas other than “on toast” and “in a salad”.

thanks!

(Obvs could try to resell them and then buy a flat).

I add them to boiled eggs - add mayo and season.
Nice to eat on its own, or on sourdough 😋

Chop them, add a squeeze of lime juice and freeze them.

Mayak Avocado - addictive korean marinated avocados! Really yummy as a side dish.

My favourite breakfast is a bacon, avocado & mayo sarnie.
I've made soup, but wasn't impressed.

Avocado ice cream is nice. Just eat them in salads and wraps. I’ve also seen an avocado cheesecake

I love an avocado and cucumber salad with sesame oil and rice vinegar. Perfect for this weather!

In a blender with cocoa powder, lime juice, honey or similar = delicious pudding.

They make a smoothie beautiful and creamy! For example, bit of spinach, some banana, some frozen berries, maybe a tablespoon of oats, almond milk. A lot of faff, though, granted.

I make avocado salsa, lime, pinch of sugar and salt, coriander ,chilli, black beans, tomatoes, avocado.

Chocolate Avocado Mousse😋

You can freeze them and add to smoothies when you want to make them more filling.

Tryingnottobeamouse · 25/06/2026 18:53

Huevos rancheros - scrambled eggs, black beans, tomatoes, avocado, lime, loads of jalapenos and coriander, all on a tortilla

OMGitsnotgood · 25/06/2026 19:01

Mashed on toast with scrambled eggs

mashed and mixed with plain yoghurt makes a lovely dressing for salmon

They actually bake quite well with fish and a creamy sauce

On toast for breakfast is a favourite of mine (salt, squeeze of lime juice from bottle, bit of dried chilli flakes and a little olive oil) in the fridge they last much longer so that’s lots of breakfasts!

Avocado gazpacho which I prefer to the normal kind.

Avocado
Cucumbers
Bit of shallottes
Bit of garlic
Salt
Green pepper
Fresh mint or chives or coriander or all 3
Lemon or lime juice

I second that on the freezing. Very handy to have some chopped frozen avocado to hand!

Many years ago when I was a student this was a “posh” treat for me. I think I got it out Good Food magazine or something. It sounds very 90s but it is also lovely!

Halve and de stone the avo.

take tinned crab meat, mix with a little crème fraiche and lemon, a touch of paprika if you like. Spoon into the hole left by the stone (make the hole a little bigger if necessary.

sprinkle the top with grated Gouda.

grill under a medium grill until the Gouda is bubbling.

eat from the skin with a teaspoon!

TeaBiscuitsNaptime · 25/06/2026 19:15

Or add them to Mexican quesadillas

DressOrSkirt · 27/06/2026 00:50

Try to arrange them so only one ripens a day.

Otherwise smoothies, salads, sushi, freeze them.

I love the classic prawn cocktail

You can freeze guacamole.
