- Remove squash cakes from the skillet and place them on 4 breakfast plates.
- In a medium bowl, smash together the avocado, coconut cream, lime zest, and lime juice along with the remaining salt and the remaining pepper.
- Serve a dollop of this Avocado-Coconut Cream on top of each squash cake and sprinkle with chopped chives.
