Instructions:
1. Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover them with cold water by about an inch.

Egg, onion and avocado bowl FAQ:
Boil the eggs for 9-12 minutes, depending on your desired firmness. For a slightly softer yolk, aim for 9 minutes; for a firmer yolk, go for 12 minutes.
Yes, you can substitute avocado with a similar creamy ingredient like Greek yogurt or hummus, though this will change the flavor and texture.
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day. However, it's best to consume the bowl immediately to maintain the texture of the avocado.
A small saucepan that can comfortably hold the eggs in a single layer with enough water to cover them by about an inch is ideal.
You can perform a quick spin test: if the egg spins easily, it's likely fully cooked. Alternatively, cut one open to check the yolk for firmness.
Cooking Tips:
- To make perfect hard-boiled eggs, place them in a pot and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 10-12 minutes before transferring to an ice bath.
- For a more flavorful avocado, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon or lime juice to enhance its taste and prevent browning.
- Dice the onion and red pepper finely to ensure an even distribution of flavors in every bite.
- Season to taste with salt and black pepper, or add a pinch of chili flakes for a spicy kick.
