# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It's the rare dish that satisfies you completely—protein from the eggs, healthy fats from the avocado, and enough substance to power through your morning without a second thought.
  • The prep is so minimal that you can make this even on days when you're running late, yet it feels like you've actually put care into breakfast.
  • Somehow it works equally well at 8 AM or 1 PM, turning it into one of those meals that fits whenever hunger strikes.
02 -
  • The biggest mistake I made early on was using an underripe or overripe avocado—you really do need one that's perfectly ready to eat, or the whole thing tastes either bitter or mushy.
  • If your hard-boiled eggs crack while cooking, a tiny pinch of salt in the water helps prevent it, but I've also learned that older eggs (about a week old) peel infinitely better than super fresh ones.
  • Lemon juice does wonders for keeping the avocado from turning brown, but it also seasons the dish in a way that feels essential—don't skip it thinking it's just garnish.
03 -
  • Keep a lemon in your fruit bowl specifically for recipes like this—it's the secret ingredient that makes people ask what you did differently.
  • If you're making this for guests, prepare the egg mixture ahead and toast the bread to order, so everything stays fresh and warm on the plate.
