Avocado Scrambled Eggs Recipe
This unique recipe for avocado scrambled eggs is a wholesome twist on a classic breakfast. It blends creamy avocado with light, fluffy scrambled eggs to create a dish that is both nutritious and flavorful, perfect for a quick morning boost.
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted, and roughly mashed
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt, to taste
- Black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or parsley
- Optional: a pinch of paprika for extra color and a light smoky flavor
Instructions
- Prep the Ingredients: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with a pinch of salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs. Meanwhile, lightly mash the avocado so that it remains chunky for texture.
- Heat the Pan: Place a nonstick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Once warm, pour in the egg mixture and let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds.
- Cook the Eggs: Begin stirring gently with a spatula, allowing the eggs to form soft curds. When the eggs are about halfway set, carefully fold in the mashed avocado.
- Finish Cooking: Continue cooking gently while stirring intermittently until the eggs are creamy yet just set. Do not overcook, as the residual heat will finish the process.
- Plate and Serve: Transfer the scrambled eggs onto serving plates. Sprinkle a light pinch of paprika on top for added color if desired. Enjoy your nutritious, delicious breakfast!
Notes
- For an extra burst of flavor, you may add a squeeze of lemon over the finished dish.
- If you prefer a smoother texture, you can blend the avocado into a fine mash before folding it into the eggs.
- Experiment with different herbs such as basil or cilantro to vary the flavor profile.
- This recipe works well with a side of whole-grain toast or a small bowl of mixed berries for a balanced meal.
