We Tried It: Avocado Bun Meatball Sliders With Our Fave Trader Joe’s Products

I’m all about having more avocados in my life. If I had avo toast for breakfast, stuffed avo for lunch, and some guac as an afternoon pick-me-up, I may probably still want avocados for dinner. So when I heard about the (surprising and seemingly ridiculous) avo-bun trend, I was intrigued. Avo-buns are essentially burger buns that are actually two halves of an avocado. Although I love avos, this food trend left me a little skeptical. How would you pick it up?

Ingredients:
— Trader Joe’s wild arugula

— Trader Joe’s turkey meatballs

— Trader Joe’s goat cheese

— eggs

— ripe avocados

Instructions:
1. Slice meatballs in half and cook on a non-stick pan with a little oil until meatballs are browned. These meatballs come fully cooked, so they don’t need to be over heat for that long.

2. Add a little more oil to the pan and put down mason jar lids. Crack eggs into the lids and let cook for a couple minutes. Use tongs to remove the lids from the eggs and flip the eggs over to cook. If you like your eggs runny, cook the eggs for 30 seconds. If you’re more of a cooked-eggs kind of person, cook them for a couple minutes.

3. Slice avocados in half width-wise. Remove the pit and spoon out the avo.

4. On the less-pointy half of the avocado, slice off the rounded bottom so that it can stand upright. Fill the hole where the pit used to be with goat cheese. Add arugula, fried egg and sliced meatballs. Top with the second half of the avo. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.

Now here’s the fun part: avo-bun making! Slice avocados in half widthwise. Remove the pit and spoon out the avo.

Fill the hole where the pit used to be with goat cheese. Add arugula, fried egg and sliced meatballs.

Top with the second half of the avo. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, if desired.

Avo-bun sliders!

Final verdict: I find this particular avo-bun interesting because it contains all my favorite foods, but I just don’t know how to eat any of it. After getting my fingers all avo-y from trying to pick it up, I decided to take off the top half of the avo-bun and eat the rest of it on a bed of arugula. Basically, I turned the avo-bun into an avocado, fried egg, goat cheese, turkey and arugula salad. It wasn’t an avo-bun, but it was delicious!

I guess I’ll use a fork.

Is it just me, or do they look like little alien houses? I mean that in the best way possible.

What is the movie Sinners about?

Warner Bros. Pictures

When twin brothers Smoke and Stack return home for a new beginning, they're initially met with welcome arms. But as daylight turns to dusk and gives way to nightfall, unspeakable horrors expose themselves to the townspeople. Evil in the form of vampires consume everything in their path and it changes the brothers in ways they could've never prepared for.

It's set in the 1930s South which means we'll get dialect, fashion, music, and more themes from that time period.

Who's Hailee Steinfeld starring as in Sinners? 

Warner Bros. Pictures

Hailee Steinfeld will be starring as Mary, the love interest of Stack. Since not much is known about her outside of that, we're assuming their romance is forbidden. What we do know is Hailee's a fan of her character and the overall themes of Sinners.

According to PEOPLE, the actress shared more of her thoughts in her newsletter Beau Society March 28. She wrote, "...This role is far removed from what I've done, but that's part of what drew me to it! I feel like I'm stepping into my own more and more as I get older, and this role mirrors that."

She also shared that it didn't take much for her to be a part of Sinners. "The minute I heard Ryan Coogler, I was in. Then I read his script and was like, 'Holy s---, this feels like a massive undertaking.' The story is so complex and layered," calling herself "fortunate and honored to even be remotely considered." So, how does Hailee Steinfeld feel about Sinners as a whole?

She says it's "thrilling and sexy and daring and dangerous — with bold representations." Calling this type of movie a "first" for her, she continued sharing her excitement about it on the TODAY Show while chatting with Jenna Bush Hager and John Legend. She said, "This role, I feel just challenged me in ways that I was ready for."

She also Ryan for being "the most incredible writer and director," which continues to speak to his amazing sight!

Meghann Fahy is ready for another vacation. While promoting her new movie Drop, out April 11, the Sirens actress (who starred in The White Lotus season 2), said she'd love to return for an all-star season.

"I, of course, would love to. In a heartbeat," Meghann says in an interview with EW. "That's the easiest yes in the world."

Here's why Drop actress Meghann Fahy would love to return for another season of Mike White's The White Lotus.

Who did Meghan Fahy play in White Lotus?

Meghann Fahy starred in season 2 of The White Lotus as Daphne Sullivan, who was married to the unfaithful Cameron (Theo James) and was much more than meets the eye. But even if Daphne didn't return for a potential all-star White Lotus, Meghann would tune in.

"I know that that would be something I would love to watch, too, if they didn't want to see Daphne again," she adds. "Because I love the show so much and there's so many amazing characters."

And would Brandon Sklenar (who also stars in Drop) ever play a future character? "I'd probably end up dead," he says. "I don't know who I'd play. Yeah, I'd do it. I love that show. But I want to see [Fahy do] an all-stars thing."

In our Drop interview, I also couldn't pass up the opportunity to ask if we'd see Brandon in a rom-com. The actor has played romantic roles in both 1923 and It Ends With Us, but nothing beats a good old fashioned rom-com!

"It's possible. I'm not saying no, but it's possible," he teases. "I'd love to do a comedy at some point. Everything I have in the future is very far from, and very far from romance, but I'd say it's possible. Yeah, never say never."

As far as his dream comedy goes, Brandon tells Brit + Co, "I love Peter Sellers and I love like Chevy Chase movies. I'm like I'm a very physical guy and I'd love to be able to do something just absurd like grounded but completely absurd."

Well, until we see Brandon in a rom-com I'll just have to rewatch Drop because believe it or not, it's totally giving scary rom-com.
