Ingredients
Scale
- 4 large eggs, room temperature
- 1 ripe avocado, mashed
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (chives or parsley), chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (low-sodium preferred)
Instructions
- Prep your ingredients: Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl. Mash the avocado until smooth. Halve the cherry tomatoes, chop the spinach and herbs. Set aside.
- Whisk the eggs lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper until yolks and whites are combined but not frothy.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the olive oil. Swirl to coat evenly.
- Add the chopped spinach and cherry tomatoes to the pan. Stir gently until spinach wilts and tomatoes soften slightly without losing shape.
- Pour the whisked eggs over the veggies. Let sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently fold with a spatula every 20 seconds until eggs are softly set but still creamy.
- Remove pan from heat. Fold in the mashed avocado and fresh herbs carefully to keep eggs fluffy.
- Optional: Sprinkle crumbled feta cheese on top and let warm slightly in residual heat.
- Transfer the scramble to a plate. Taste and adjust salt and pepper as needed. Garnish with extra herbs if desired.
Notes
Cook eggs low and slow to maintain creamy texture and avoid rubberiness. Fold eggs gently to keep them light and airy. Use ripe avocado for best texture; add lemon juice to prevent browning. Optional additions include smoked paprika or hot sauce for extra flavor without added carbs.
