# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It comes together in under fifteen minutes and tastes like you planned ahead when really you just grabbed what was there.
  • The avocado and eggs together create a creamy, satisfying richness that keeps you full through the morning.
  • You can make it exactly how you want it, trading herbs and toppings without disrupting the whole thing.
02 -
  • An avocado that's past its peak will make this feel mushy and disappointing, so squeeze it gently before committing—a little give is perfect, but no brown spots inside.
  • The eggs taste so much better when you actually boil them properly instead of rushing through it, and that ice bath is the difference between peeling easily and fighting with little shell fragments.
03 -
  • Make your hard-boiled eggs ahead and keep them in the fridge for up to five days so this comes together even faster on busy mornings.
  • If your avocado is a little firm, mash it with the lemon juice first and it softens up beautifully while the acid works its magic.
