FAQs

Can I make these sliders ahead of time?

Will the avocado turn brown?

Are these suitable for a paleo diet?

What’s the best way to hard-boil eggs?

Can I add lettuce or tomato?

Yes, thinly sliced tomato or a bit of romaine adds freshness and crunch.

Are these sliders freezer-friendly?

Freezing is not recommended due to the texture of eggs and avocado.

How do I prevent the sliders from slipping apart?
