Quick Hard-boiled Eggs and Avocado

Directions

1. Step 1

   Bring a small saucepan of water to a rolling boil over high heat.

2. Step 2

   Carefully lower the eggs into the boiling water. Reduce heat slightly to maintain a gentle boil and cook for 8 minutes for hard-boiled eggs.

5. Step 5

   Peel the cooled hard-boiled eggs and slice them in half or into quarters.

6. Step 6

   Slice or dice the avocado into desired pieces.

7. Step 7

   Arrange the sliced eggs and avocado on a plate. Season generously with salt and black pepper.
