# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It feels indulgent but takes less time than you'd spend scrolling through your phone.
  • The combination of creamy avocado and protein-rich eggs keeps you full without the heaviness.
  • You can make it exactly how you like it—add heat, fresh herbs, or extra toppings without changing a thing.
02 -
  • Timing matters with avocados—make and serve this immediately or it will brown and look less appealing even if it tastes fine.
  • Don't over-mash your mixture; the little pockets of texture are what make each bite interesting instead of smooth and monotonous.
03 -
  • A squeeze of lemon juice applied to the cut avocado surface as you work will slow browning significantly.
  • If your eggs are slightly overcooked and the yolk has that gray-green ring around it, they're still delicious—it's just a sign to pull them off the heat a minute earlier next time.
