Ingredients
4 4 eggs
1 1 avocado
1 tablespoon 1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons 2 tablespoons milk
Salt and pepper to taste
C hopped chives
1 pinch 1 pinch chili flakes
Equipment
Frying pan- Spatula
- Fork or whisk
- Knife
- Cutting board
Directions
- Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out with a spoon. Slice or mash the avocado, depending on your preference. Set aside.
- In a small bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together with a fork. Add a pinch of salt, pepper, and the milk if you want creamier eggs.
- Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Add the butter or olive oil. Once the butter has melted or the oil is shimmering, pour in the beaten eggs. Allow them to cook undisturbed for a few seconds until they begin to set around the edges.
- Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, letting the uncooked eggs fill the space. Continue this process until the eggs are softly scrambled and slightly runny (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat just before they’re fully cooked, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
- Plate the scrambled eggs and top with slices of avocado or mashed avocado. Season with an extra pinch of salt and pepper. Garnish with chopped chives or cilantro and a sprinkle of chili flakes if desired.
- Serve with toast on the side, or add a few slices of cherry tomatoes and crumbled feta for extra flavor.
Notes
- Keep the heat on low to medium-low for soft, creamy eggs. High heat can make the eggs rubbery.
Can I make scrambled eggs without milk?
Yes, you can skip the milk. It adds creaminess, but if you prefer your eggs lighter or don’t have milk on hand, simply omit it. The eggs will still turn out soft and fluffy.
How do I know when the eggs are done cooking?
Scrambled eggs are done when they’re softly set but still slightly creamy. Remove them from the heat when they’re almost done, as they will continue to cook from residual heat. Overcooking can lead to dry or rubbery eggs.
What’s the best way to store leftovers?
Scrambled eggs are best eaten fresh, but if you have leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
What are some good toppings for scrambled eggs and avocado?
Popular toppings include crumbled feta, sliced cherry tomatoes, chives, cilantro, and hot sauce. You can also add toast on the side for a more filling meal.
