# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready in under 25 minutes, which means you can actually eat breakfast before your coffee gets cold.
  • The creamy avocado and fluffy egg texture together feels like you're treating yourself, not just fueling up.
  • It's forgiving and flexible—you can make it your own with whatever herbs or toppings you have on hand.
02 -
  • Don't skip the ice bath for the eggs—it stops them from cooking further and makes peeling infinitely easier.
  • A ripe avocado should feel like it wants to give way, but if you squeeze too hard it's already past its prime.
03 -
  • Keep a lemon in your kitchen specifically for this—the juice prevents browning and makes a real difference in flavor compared to bottled.
  • If your avocado is perfectly ripe right now but you won't eat it for two days, store the pit with it in the bowl and cover tightly with plastic wrap to slow the browning.
