This eggcado with avocado recipe is derived from a recipe my mum made us on Sunday mornings. It’s our customers’ favourite breakfast at Select Stores, especially Mary Kingston, who gave it the name Eggcado. It’s tasty, filling and light. High in protein, dietary fibre and essential fats and it’s low GL.
