Ingredients
  

  • 2 large hard-boiled eggs
  • 1 medium avocado
  • ¼ teaspoon sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes optional
  • ½ teaspoon everything bagel seasoning optional

Instructions
 

  • Place 2 large eggs in a small saucepan and arrange them in a single layer. Cover the eggs with cold water, making sure the water level sits about 1 inch above the eggs. Starting with cold water helps the eggs cook more evenly and reduces the chance of cracking.
  • Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and bring the water to a gentle boil. As soon as the water begins boiling, cover the saucepan with a lid, remove it from the heat, and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. For slightly creamier yolks, aim for 10 minutes; for firmer yolks, allow the full 12 minutes.
  • While the eggs are cooking, prepare a bowl filled with ice and cold water. Once the cooking time is complete, carefully transfer the eggs into the ice bath and let them cool for at least 5 minutes. This stops the cooking process immediately and helps make peeling much easier.
  • Gently tap each egg on the countertop to crack the shell, then peel under cool running water if needed. Pat the peeled eggs dry with a paper towel and slice them into halves or thick rounds, depending on how you would like to serve them.
  • Cut a ripe avocado in half lengthwise and carefully remove the pit. Use a spoon to scoop the avocado flesh from the skin, keeping it intact as much as possible.
  • Slice the avocado into thin, even slices or cut it into bite-sized cubes. Arrange the avocado neatly on one side of a serving plate, slightly fanning the slices for a more attractive presentation.
  • Place the sliced eggs next to the avocado, alternating the pieces or arranging them in rows so the plate looks balanced and appealing.
  • Drizzle the avocado lightly with ½ teaspoon fresh lemon juice. This adds brightness to the flavor and helps keep the avocado from turning brown.
  • Sprinkle ¼ teaspoon sea salt and ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper evenly over both the eggs and avocado, making sure every bite is well seasoned.
  • If using cherry tomatoes, wash and dry them thoroughly, then slice them in half. Arrange about ½ cup of the tomatoes around the edge of the plate to add color, freshness, and extra nutrients.
  • Finish the plate with ½ teaspoon everything bagel seasoning or your favorite seasoning blend. Sprinkle it evenly over the eggs and avocado for additional flavor and texture.
  • Serve immediately while the avocado is fresh and vibrant. Enjoy as a high-protein snack, quick breakfast, light lunch, or post-workout meal that is both satisfying and nutritious.
