This breakfast is a good option for anyone monitoring cholesterol intake: Egg whites don’t contain any saturated fat, and avocados have monounsaturated fat, which actually helps lower LDL (“bad”) cholesterol.

　　

Ingredients

Serves 4

　　8 large hard-cooked eggs (page 61)

　　2 ripe, firm Hass avocados

　　Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper

　　1 tablespoon extra- virgin olive oil

　　

Step 1

Peel eggs and cut in half. Remove yolks (reserve yolks for another use, if desired). Tear whites into 1-inch pieces; divide among four bowls.

　　

Step 2

Cut avocados in half lengthwise, and remove pits. Using a spoon, scrape out bite-size pieces into bowls, dividing evenly. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle each serving with 3/4 teaspoon oil, and serve.
