# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • That moment when the warm yolk breaks into the cool avocado is pure comfort disguised as health food.
  • It comes together faster than you'd think, making it perfect for mornings when you actually have time to breathe.
  • The combination of textures keeps things interesting every single bite.
02 -
  • The ice bath for your eggs is not optional if you want that runny yolk, it's the difference between perfectly cooked and rubbery.
  • Lemon juice on the avocado isn't just for flavor, it actively prevents browning and gives you a wider window to get this plated and eaten.
03 -
  • Keep your avocado at room temperature the night before and it'll be perfectly ripe and easy to mash without any brown spots.
  • Toast your bread just before assembling everything so it stays warm and crispy instead of getting cold and soggy while you're waiting.
