# Expert Hints:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes and actually keeps you full until lunch.
  • The creaminess of avocado mixed with the soft, buttery eggs feels more indulgent than it has any right to be.
  • You can make it exactly the way you want it—add herbs, skip them, pile on toppings, or keep it bare.
02 -
  • Overcooking eggs even by a minute changes the texture of the yolk; the 10-minute timer is your friend, and a timer is non-negotiable.
  • A ripe avocado should feel like an avocado, not like a stone—squeeze it gently in your palm, and if it gives just a little, it's ready to use.
03 -
  • Keep a lemon in your fruit bowl at all times; the small squeeze of brightness it adds transforms simple ingredients into something that feels intentional and considered.
  • Invest in a good fork or small masher for this step—you want control over the texture, and the right tool makes that possible without frustration.
