Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 whole avocado
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 5 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons fresh chives
Instructions
Start by preparing the ingredients. Halve the avocado, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it gently with a fork and set aside. Chop the cherry tomatoes and freshly cut chives, then set those aside separately.
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the salt and black pepper. Whisk the eggs thoroughly until the yolks and whites are well combined and slightly foamy; this will help make them fluffy when cooked.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Ensure the whole bottom of the pan is lightly coated with the oil.
Pour the eggs into the skillet. Let them cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds. Using a spatula, gently pull the eggs across the pan to form large curds, doing this continuously until the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny (about 2-3 minutes).
Add the mashed avocado and chopped cherry tomatoes to the eggs in the pan. Stir to combine gently, allowing the eggs to finish cooking and the avocado to warm through.
Remove from heat when the eggs are just cooked and still moist. Remember, they will continue to cook with the residual heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.
Serve immediately, garnished with fresh chives on top, and enjoy a wholesome dairy-free breakfast.
