Fluffy Scrambled Eggs with Avocado & Soft Toast
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 8 minutes
Servings: 2
Ingredients:
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tbsp whole milk or cream
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 2 slices soft whole wheat or white bread
- 1 tbsp cream cheese (optional, for extra fluffiness)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Pinch of garlic powder
- Fresh chives for garnish (optional)
Step-by-Step Instructions:
- Prep your eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk, salt, pepper, and a pinch of garlic powder. Whisk until completely combined and slightly frothy—this is the secret to fluffy eggs!
- Toast the bread: Lightly toast bread until just golden but still soft. Spread with a thin layer of butter while warm.
- Cook low and slow: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over low heat (yes, LOW—this is crucial!). Pour in the egg mixture.
- The gentle scramble: Let the eggs sit for 30 seconds, then use a rubber spatula to gently push them from the edges to the center. Continue this slow, gentle motion for 4–5 minutes.
- Add cream cheese magic: When eggs are almost done but still slightly wet, fold in cream cheese if using. Remove from heat immediately—they’ll continue cooking!
- Assemble your plate: Spread mashed avocado on the soft toast. Season with salt and pepper. Pile the fluffy scrambled eggs alongside or on top.
- Garnish and enjoy: Sprinkle with fresh chives if desired. Serve immediately while eggs are cloud-like!
Chef’s Notes:
- The secret to restaurant-quality eggs? Low heat and patience!
- Add a tablespoon of cottage cheese to the eggs for extra protein and creaminess.
- Mash avocado with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Cut toast into strips for easier handling and eating.
