Place the eggs in a medium-sized pot and cover with water until submerged. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat.

Meanwhile, halve the avocados, remove pits, and scoop flesh into a large mixing bowl. Use a fork to slightly mash, leaving some chunks for texture.

Add chopped red onion, halved cherry tomatoes, and cilantro to the bowl with the avocado. Drizzle with lime juice and olive oil, then gently mix to combine.

Drain the hot water and transfer eggs into a bowl of ice water. Cool for about 5 minutes to make peeling easier.

Peel the cooled eggs, chop into bite-sized pieces, and add to the avocado mixture.

Season with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasoning before serving.
