Pro Tips
• Use avocados that are ripe but still firm to the touch. Overly soft avocados will not hold their shape during cooking.
• For a jammy, softer yolk, reduce the egg’s standing time in hot water to 6-7 minutes.
• Ensure the skillet is preheated before adding the wrapped avocados to get the best crispy texture on the prosciutto.
• Secure the prosciutto with a toothpick if it has trouble staying wrapped, but remember to remove it before serving.
