Scrambled Eggs Avocado Tomato (Printable)
Fluffy eggs paired with creamy avocado and caramelized tomatoes for a quick, satisfying morning meal.
# What You'll Need:
→ Eggs & Dairy
01 - 4 large eggs
02 - 2 tbsp milk (optional, for creamier eggs)
03 - 1 tbsp unsalted butter
04 - Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
→ Vegetables
05 - 1 ripe avocado
06 - 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
07 - 1 tbsp olive oil
08 - 2 tbsp fresh chives or parsley, finely chopped (optional)
→ To Serve
09 - 2 slices whole-grain bread, toasted (optional)
10 - Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
# Step-by-step:
01 - Crack the eggs into a bowl, add milk (if using), salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined.
02 - Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the egg mixture. Stir gently with a spatula, pushing eggs from the edges to the center until softly set but still creamy. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
03 - While eggs cook, heat olive oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add cherry tomatoes, cut side down. Sear for 2–3 minutes until lightly caramelized. Season with salt and pepper.
04 - Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice thinly.
05 - To serve, divide scrambled eggs between plates. Top with seared tomatoes and avocado slices. Sprinkle with fresh chives or parsley and crushed red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve with toast if using.
# Expert Advice:
01 -
- The contrast between warm creamy eggs and cool buttery avocado hits every comfort craving
- Seared tomatoes bring this sweet acidity that cuts through all the richness perfectly
- Takes barely twenty minutes but looks like something from a brunch menu
02 -
- Eggs keep cooking after you pull them from the heat, so remove the pan while they still look slightly wet
- Seared tomatoes need that cut-side-down time without poking to develop proper caramelization
- Avocado browns quickly, so slice it right before serving or toss with a squeeze of lemon
03 -
- Preheat your plates so everything stays warm while you assemble
- Use two skillets simultaneously so eggs do not sit and get rubbery while tomatoes sear
