Power Up Your Day with Creamy Avocado & Tomato Scrambled Eggs! 

We're all about starting the day strong, and these scrambled eggs with a burst of fresh flavor are the perfect pick-me-up! It's so easy to whip up – just a few minutes and you'll have a delicious and satisfying breakfast that will keep you energized all morning.

Preparation time: 10 minutes.   Yield: 2 servings.   Cooking time: 5 minutes

Here's what you'll need:

Ingredients:

• 4-6 large eggs (depending on how hungry you are!)
• 1 tablespoon of butter (we love the richness it adds)
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced (creamy goodness)
• A handful of cherry or grape tomatoes, halved (sweet and juicy!)
• A squeeze of fresh lime juice (adds a zesty touch)
• Salt and freshly cracked pepper (to taste, of course!)

Let's get cooking!

1. Scramble Time! Crack those eggs into a pan with a pinch of salt. Throw in some chopped butter and turn the heat to medium-low. We want those eggs soft and fluffy, so keep stirring them gently. As they cook, move the pan on and off the heat to avoid burning. Take them off the heat just before they're fully set – they'll keep cooking a bit on their own.
2. Freshen it Up! While the eggs are working their magic, toss the sliced avocado and tomatoes together in a bowl. Drizzle with some lime juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Yum!
3. Assemble & Enjoy! Now for the best part – plating! Divide the fluffy scrambled eggs between plates and top them with the vibrant avocado and tomato mix. Finish with a fresh grind of black pepper, if you like. Dig in and savor this delicious and nutritious breakfast!

Tip: Feel free to add a sprinkle of your favorite cheese or chopped herbs for an extra flavor boost!

Our Super Simple Scrambled Eggs for Busy Mornings!

We know weekday mornings can be hectic, so we love this scrambled egg recipe for its ease and speed. It's all about fresh flavors and keeping it simple, with just a few key ingredients like avocado and tomato for a perfect balance of taste and texture.

Here's the Secret to Fluffy Eggs:

Low and Slow: The key is to cook the eggs gently over medium-low heat with a pat of butter. This keeps them soft and fluffy, instead of dry and rubbery.

Double Boiler Magic (Optional): Want to take it up a notch? Use a double boiler! This indirect heat method creates the dreamiest, fluffiest scrambled eggs ever.

Milk for Extra Fluff: Feeling adventurous? Whisk in a splash of milk to the eggs and butter for an even airier texture.

Customize Your Plate!

These scrambled eggs are a blank canvas for your breakfast creativity. Here are some ideas to add a personal touch:

Veggie Power: Throw in some chopped veggies like sweet corn, fresh fava beans, or edamame for a nutritional boost.

Fruity Twist: Feeling fancy? Add a handful of chopped strawberries for a touch of sweetness.

Cheese Dreams: Sprinkle on some mozzarella, burrata, or your favorite cheese for extra flavor and richness.

Spicy Kick: If you like things with a zing, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red chili flakes for a touch of heat.

Leftovers? We Got You!

While scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh, you can store them in the fridge for up to 3 days. To reheat, simply melt some butter in a pan and gently warm the eggs with a wooden spatula, breaking them down for a slightly different, but still delicious, texture.

We love the versatility of scrambled eggs! Here are some exciting ways to take this recipe from basic to bursting with flavor:
