8 large eggs
1 ripe avocado
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice, from 1/4 a lemon
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup mixed pitted olives
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon grated orange zest, from 1/2 an orange

Steps:

Place the eggs in a small saucepan and cover with water. Place over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and cover the pan. Allow the eggs to sit, covered, for 10 minutes. Drain the eggs and shock them in an ice bath.
Meanwhile for the avocado topping: In a medium bowl, mash the avocado, curry powder, lemon juice and salt with the back of the fork until smooth. Set aside.
For the olive topping: Place the olives, basil, olive oil and orange zest in the top of a food processor. Pulse together until finely chopped.
When the eggs are fully cold, carefully peel and halve the eggs. Serve the eggs with the 2 toppings on the side.
