Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.25 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 0.5 cups Shredded cheese (e.g., cheddar or mozzarella)
- 1 Avocado
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture is slightly frothy.
Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh out of the skin. Slice or dice the avocado, and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and let it melt, swirling it around to coat the bottom of the skillet evenly.
Pour the egg mixture into the preheated skillet. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Use a spatula to gently push the eggs from the edges of the skillet toward the center, creating soft folds. Continue to do this, letting the liquid eggs flow to the edges, for about 2-3 minutes or until they are mostly cooked but still slightly runny.
Sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the eggs. Allow it to melt slightly while gently stirring the eggs for another 30 seconds, ensuring they stay creamy and soft.
Remove the skillet from heat and carefully fold in the avocado pieces, being gentle to avoid mashing them.
Divide the scrambled eggs between two plates. Garnish with fresh parsley or chives if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your creamy scrambled eggs with avocado and cheese!
