Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 avocado
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 0.5 cup diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
- 1 tablespoon chopped jalapeño pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cumin
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 lime
Instructions
Begin by preparing your ingredients: dice the tomatoes, chop the cilantro, jalapeño, and halve the avocado, removing the seed and peeling it.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with the salt, pepper, and cumin until well combined.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Once the butter is melted and bubbly, pour in the whisked eggs.
Reduce the heat to low and gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from side to side until they begin to set but are still soft.
Add the shredded cheddar cheese, diced tomatoes, chopped cilantro, and jalapeño to the eggs, gently folding them in.
Remove the eggs from the heat and spoon them onto serving plates.
Slice the avocado into thin slices and place on top of the eggs.
Garnish with additional cilantro, a sprinkle of salt and pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lime juice over the top.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Mexican Eggs!
