Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- ½ avocado, diced or sliced
- 1 medium tomato, thickly sliced
- 1 tbsp butter or olive oil
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- ¼ tsp garlic powder (optional)
Ingredient Swaps & Tips
- Eggs: Want it vegan? Try a tofu scramble with the same toppings.
- Butter vs. Oil: Olive oil adds richness and heart-healthy fats, but butter gives it that classic breakfast flavor.
- Tomatoes: Use cherry tomatoes, grape tomatoes, or even sun-dried for a different texture twist.
- Avocado: Sprinkle with chili flakes or lemon juice for an extra pop.
Step-by-Step Instructions
🔥 Step 1: Prepare the Tomatoes
Slice your tomato into thick rounds and season lightly with salt and black pepper. This helps them release a little juice and amp up the flavor.
🍅 Step 2: Grill the Tomatoes
Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a touch of oil. Grill the tomato slices for 2 minutes per side until slightly browned and softened. Remove and set aside.
🍳 Step 3: Scramble the Eggs
Crack the eggs into a bowl, beat lightly, and season with salt and pepper. In the same skillet, melt butter or heat a little oil. Cook the eggs over low heat, stirring gently until just set and fluffy.
🔥 Pro Tip: Keep the heat low and stir slowly for soft, custardy scrambled eggs.
🥑 Step 4: Prepare the Avocado
Dice or thinly slice the avocado. Season with black pepper or garlic powder for a touch of extra flavor.
🍽️ Step 5: Assemble & Serve
Plate the scrambled eggs alongside the grilled tomatoes and avocado. Eat warm, enjoy the textures, and savor every bite!
