• 1/2 large ripe avocado, pitted and chopped
• 1 tablespoon red onion, finely diced
• 1 tablespoon red bell pepper, finely diced
• 1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

3. Let the eggs sit in the hot water for 12 minutes for a firm hard-boiled yolk.
4. Transfer the eggs to an ice water bath for 5 minutes to stop the cooking process and ease peeling.
5. Peel the cooled eggs and cut them into quarters.

Best Ways to Enjoy It

Serve this hard boiled egg and avocado bowl while it is fresh and bright. It looks beautiful in a shallow ceramic dish. You can eat it exactly as it is for a light meal. It is also great for a quick desk lunch.

If you want more crunch, add a slice of toast. A piece of crusty sourdough works wonders here. You could also scoop it up with cucumber slices. It is a versatile dish that fits your life.

Keep It Fresh

You can boil the eggs well in advance. They stay fresh in the fridge for five days. Keep the shells on until you are ready to eat. This saves you so much time on busy mornings.

Wait to slice the avocado until the very last minute. This prevents it from turning brown and soft. If you have leftovers, add a squeeze of lemon. Store it in an airtight container for one day.

Tips for Best Results

• Don’t skip the ice bath for easy peeling.
• Use eggs that are a few days old.
• Choose an avocado that yields to gentle pressure.
• Dice your onions very small for even flavor.
• Double the recipe for a nutritious family brunch.
• Add a squeeze of lime for extra zing.
• Use high-quality flaky salt for the best crunch.

Ways to Switch It Up

• Swap white balsamic for apple cider vinegar.
• Add a handful of fresh baby spinach.
• Sprinkle with hemp hearts for extra texture.
• Use pickled jalapeños instead of red pepper flakes.

Common Questions

Can I make this the night before?

You can prep the eggs and veggies early. Just wait to add the avocado and dressing. This keeps everything crisp and colorful for you.
