Easy Hard-Boiled Egg & Avocado Protein Snacks (Clean Fuel)

When you need a quick reset, this combination is a professional nutritional powerhouse. Eggs provide high-quality complete protein and choline, while avocado offers heart-healthy monounsaturated fats. From an expertise perspective, the secret to elevating this simple snack is the “seasoning layers.” By using a textured topping like “Everything Bagel” seasoning and a drizzle of high-quality oil, we provide a sensory “pop” that turns basic ingredients into a gourmet experience while increasing the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins.

Total Time: 5 Min
Yield: 2 Servings
Calories: 180 kcal per serving

Ingredients:

The Protein & Fat Duo

2 Large Hard-Boiled Eggs, peeled and halved
1/2 Ripe Avocado, sliced or mashed
1/4 tsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil (The finishing touch)

The “Gold Standard” Seasoning

1 tsp “Everything Bagel” Seasoning (Sesame seeds, poppy seeds, garlic)
Pinch of Sea Salt & Black Pepper
Red Pepper Flakes (Optional heat)

The Finishing Touch

Fresh Chives or Parsley, chopped
Squeeze of Fresh Lemon Juice

Preparation Steps:

1. The Professional Cut

Slice your pre-boiled eggs in half lengthwise.
Technique: Wipe your knife with a damp cloth between slices. This prevents the yolk from smearing and ensures a clean, professional presentation.

2. The Avocado Application

Option A (The Slice): Place a thin, fanned-out slice of avocado directly onto each egg half.
Option B (The Mash): Lightly mash the avocado with a drop of lemon juice and salt, then dollop it onto the egg. This is better for transport/lunchboxes.

3. The Seasoning Layer

Drizzle a tiny amount of olive oil over the avocado.
Sprinkle generously with the “Everything Bagel” seasoning and red pepper flakes. The oil helps fat-soluble vitamins (A, D, E) absorb more efficiently.

4. The Acid Bridge

Add a quick squeeze of lemon juice over the top.
This “flavor bridge” connects the creamy avocado with the rich yolk. Garnish with chives.

Expert Tips:

Boiling Perfection: For a creamy (not chalky) yolk, lower eggs into boiling water for exactly 9 minutes, then immediately plunge into an ice bath. This prevents the “gray ring” and ensures a professional texture.
Browning Prevention: If packing for later, coat the avocado thoroughly in lemon juice to minimize oxidation (browning).
