About the Recipe

Fluffy, buttery scrambled eggs served with creamy avocado and finished with a hint of smoky paprika. This quick, satisfying breakfast is packed with protein, healthy fats, and vibrant flavor.

Ingredients

Scrambled Eggs:

  • 3 large eggs (organic, pasture-raised preferred)

  • 1 tablespoon butter (grass-fed preferred)

  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste


Avocado & Toppings:

  • ½ medium avocado, sliced or diced

  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika (or to taste)

  • Pinch of sea salt (optional for avocado)

Preparation

Scrambled Eggs:

  1. Whisk Eggs: Crack the eggs into a bowl, season lightly with salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth.

  2. Melt Butter: Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Once melted, swirl the pan to coat the surface.

  3. Add Eggs & Stir Gently: Pour the eggs into the skillet. Using a spatula, stir gently and continuously, pushing the eggs toward the center and tilting the pan to allow uncooked eggs to flow to the edges.

  4. Cook Until Just Set: Cook for 2-3 minutes until the eggs are softly set but still slightly creamy. Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.


Prepare Avocado & Toppings:

  1. Slice Avocado: Cut avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice or dice the flesh.

  2. Plate Eggs & Avocado: Plate scrambled eggs and arrange avocado slices on the side.

  3. Sprinkle Paprika: Sprinkle smoked paprika over the eggs and avocado for a rich, smoky flavor. Add a pinch of sea salt to the avocado if desired.


Tips to Make it Even Easier:

  • Pre-Cut Avocado: Cut avocado ahead of time and store with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.

  • Pre-Whisk Eggs: Whisk eggs the night before and store in an airtight container for quick morning prep.

  • Use an Egg Slicer for Avocado: For quick and uniform avocado slices, use an egg slicer.


Quick & Simple Flavor Boost Options (Optional):

  • Garlic Butter Finish: Stir minced garlic into melted butter before cooking the eggs for a rich, savory twist.

  • Parmesan & Fresh Herbs: Add grated Parmesan and chopped fresh chives or parsley for an extra layer of flavor.

  • Chili Flakes & Lemon Zest: Sprinkle chili flakes and a touch of lemon zest over the eggs and avocado for brightness and heat.

  • Truffle Salt: Add a sprinkle of truffle salt over the scrambled eggs for an earthy, umami boost.

  • Cilantro & Lime Splash: Garnish avocado with chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime for a fresh, zesty contrast.

  • Feta & Olive Topping: Add crumbled feta and sliced olives for a Mediterranean-inspired upgrade.
