Swaps and Notes
- Eggs: For a richer scramble, you can add a tablespoon of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
- Vegetables: Feel free to swap or add other quick-cooking vegetables like spinach, bell peppers, zucchini, or cherry tomatoes.
- Oil/Butter: Both olive oil and butter work well for cooking the eggs and sautéing the vegetables, adding their own distinct flavors.
- Seasoning: Adjust the salt and pepper to your taste. A pinch of garlic powder or onion powder can be added to the vegetables for extra savory notes.
- Avocado: Use a ripe avocado for the best creamy texture.

Servings:
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 teaspoon olive oil or butter for cooking
- ½ cup sliced mushrooms (white button or cremini)
- ½ cup chopped broccoli florets
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for sautéing)
- ½ avocado, sliced
Instructions
- 1. Sauté the Vegetables: In a medium-sized skillet, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and chopped broccoli florets. Sauté for 4-5 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and slightly tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. Season them with salt and black pepper to taste while they cook.
- 2. Scramble the Eggs: While the vegetables are cooking, whisk the 2 large eggs in a small bowl with a pinch of salt and black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. In another small, non-stick pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil or butter over medium heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the hot pan. Stir gently with a spatula to scramble, cooking for 2-3 minutes until they are set but still soft and fluffy. Don't overcook them, or they'll become rubbery!
- 3. Combine and Plate: Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, transfer them to a serving plate. Top the sautéed vegetables with the fluffy scrambled eggs.
- 4. Serve with Avocado: Artfully arrange the sliced avocado on top of the eggs and vegetables, or place them on the side for a creamy, healthy fat addition.
