# Expert Suggestions:

01 -
  • It comes together in under 15 minutes, which means you can actually eat breakfast before your coffee gets cold.
  • The protein from eggs and healthy fats from avocado keep you satisfied without the heavy feeling that sometimes follows breakfast.
  • It's adaptable enough to work with whatever fresh herbs or toppings you have on hand, so it never feels boring.
02 -
  • The moment your avocado is mixed with the lemon juice, something slows down—the acid creates a kind of barrier that keeps browning at bay, so if you're making this ahead or for meal prep, this is the small thing that changes how long it stays appetizing.
  • Overcooking the eggs by even a minute can create that greenish ring around the yolk, which tastes fine but looks less appealing, so timing the 10 minutes exactly is worth the small attention.
03 -
  • If you're always rushing in the mornings, you can boil the eggs the night before and keep them in the fridge—everything else is still quick enough to feel fresh and spontaneous.
  • Ripe avocados wait for no one, so getting good at picking them just at the right moment means you're never scrambling to use them before they turn brown.
