Tips for the best Egg & Avocado Lettuce Boats

• Boil a batch of eggs at the start of the week and store them in the fridge for an even quicker meal.
• For the perfect crunch, use fresh, crisp lettuce leaves.
• To make the hard-boiled eggs easier to peel, cook them in boiling water for 10-12 minutes, then place them in an ice bath to cool before peeling.
