# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • The creamy guacamole filling makes each bite feel like a party, even if it is just you and your coffee.
  • Bringing together avocado and egg yolk creates a richness thats so addictive, I almost always have to make a double batch.
02 -
  • If the eggs aren't cooled enough before peeling, you'll end up with torn whites and messy halves—give them time!
  • Bottled lime juice won't keep the avocado as fresh; always squeeze from a real lime for the best flavor and bright color.
03 -
  • Peeling the eggs under running water makes the shell slip off cleanly—every batch is different!
  • A dash of cumin in the guacamole brings a subtle warmth that guests keep guessing about.
