Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 6 slices bacon
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 1 large avocado
- 4 slices bread
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables. Dice the red bell pepper into small pieces and wash the baby spinach. Chop the fresh parsley and set aside for garnishing.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and set aside.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Once hot, add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until it wilts. Remove the cooked vegetables from the skillet and set aside.
Using the same skillet, fry the bacon slices over medium heat until crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess grease.
Toast the slices of bread in a toaster or oven until golden brown. Set them aside.
Clean out the skillet and return it to medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt. Pour in the whisked eggs and cook gently, stirring frequently with a silicone spatula, to create soft and creamy scrambled eggs. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
While the eggs are cooking, slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the flesh. Slice the avocado into thin pieces.
To assemble the brunch, place a slice of toasted bread on each plate. Top with a spoonful of the sautéed vegetables, followed by a portion of scrambled eggs, a slice or two of crispy bacon, and a few slices of avocado.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and an extra sprinkle of salt and pepper, if desired.
Serve immediately and enjoy your epic egg brunch!
