Ingredients

For the Scrambled Eggs:

• Salt, to taste
• Black pepper, to taste
• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives (optional)

For the Avocado Toast:

• 1 ripe avocado
• 1 teaspoon fresh lemon or lime juice
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Instructions

Instructions 

Step 1: Prepare the Avocado Spread

  1. Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl.
  2. Mash the avocado using a fork until it reaches your desired consistency—smooth or slightly chunky.
  3. Add fresh lemon or lime juice to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
  4. Mix in salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of spice.

Step 2: Make the Perfect Scrambled Eggs

  1. In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them until fully combined. Add a splash of milk or cream for extra creaminess.
  2. Heat a non-stick pan over low to medium-low heat and add butter or olive oil.
  3. Pour the whisked eggs into the pan and let them sit for a few seconds before stirring.
  4. Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a slow, folding motion to create soft curds.
  5. Remove the eggs from heat while they are slightly undercooked, as residual heat will continue cooking them.
  6. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh chives.

Step 3: Assemble the Avocado Toast

  1. Toast the bread slices until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Spread the mashed avocado evenly over the toast.
  3. Top with the freshly scrambled eggs.
  4. Garnish with your choice of toppings, such as cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, or smoked salmon.

Notes

      Cooking Note

        • Use low to medium-low heat to prevent the eggs from overcooking and becoming rubbery.
• If using whole wheat or gluten-free bread, ensure it’s toasted well to provide a sturdy base for the toppings.
• Always add lemon or lime juice to the mashed avocado to keep it vibrant and fresh.
