# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It's ready faster than you can brew a second cup of coffee, yet tastes like you've done something thoughtful for yourself.
  • The texture keeps surprising you—creamy avocado, tender egg, a little crunch from the toast—all in one bite.
  • You can make it exactly how you want it, swapping herbs or adding heat without ruining anything.
02 -
  • If you oversalt the avocado before combining it with the eggs, you can't take it back, so add seasoning gradually and taste as you go.
  • A ripe avocado should yield gently to thumb pressure, not feel like a rock or feel mushy at the tip—learning this one thing changes everything.
03 -
  • Buy avocados a few days before you need them and let them sit on the counter; this way you're not gambling on ripeness at the last minute.
  • Toast your bread while you're finishing the smash so everything meets warm, which tastes better and feels more intentional.
