Prep Time: 5 mins
Cook Time: 5 mins
Total Time: 10 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 ripe avocado, diced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Fresh cilantro (optional)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a medium mixing bowl, whisking them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are completely combined and slightly frothy.
- Season the eggs with salt and pepper, ensuring the seasoning is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add butter, allowing it to melt and coat the entire surface of the pan.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the heated skillet, letting them sit for about 15-20 seconds without stirring to allow the bottom to set slightly.
- Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center of the pan, creating soft, creamy curds. Continue this folding motion, allowing uncooked egg to flow to the empty spaces.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still look slightly wet, remove the skillet from heat to prevent overcooking.
- Dice the ripe avocado into small, uniform cubes while the eggs are cooking.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to serving plates and top immediately with the diced avocado.
- Optionally, garnish with freshly chopped cilantro for added flavor and visual appeal.
- Serve immediately while eggs are warm and avocado is fresh.
Tips
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor and texture, choose the freshest eggs and a perfectly ripe avocado. A ripe avocado should yield slightly to gentle pressure.
- Whisk Well: Make sure to whisk the eggs thoroughly until they are fully combined and a bit frothy. This incorporates air, resulting in fluffier scrambled eggs.
- Control the Heat: Cooking the eggs on medium-low heat ensures they cook evenly without burning. Patience is key for that creamy texture!
- Timing is Everything: Remove the skillet from heat when the eggs are still slightly wet. They will continue to cook from residual heat, preventing them from becoming dry.
- Customize Your Dish: Feel free to add your favorite toppings! Sliced tomatoes, feta cheese, or a sprinkle of chili flakes can add an extra layer of flavor.
- Serve Immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh and warm. Serve them right away for the ultimate breakfast experience!
