It may surprise you to know that breakfast is my least favorite meal of the day.  I love a good muffin or pastry, but realistically I can’t eat that every day.  So finding a healthy breakfast each morning frustrates me sometimes.  I tend to find one thing I like, and then do that every day until I can’t stand it anymore.  This blog has forced me to actually branch out and try different things.  Now if only I had a blender, I would try more smoothies!
To complicate the breakfast problem, I don’t really like eggs.  I can handle scrambled eggs, but that is it!  Years ago I went on the Atkins diet for 2 weeks; that was torture.  Eggs for breakfast was difficult.  I worked out of the house at the time too, so I had my breakfast in the hospital cafeteria.  Cafeteria eggs are even worse!  Lately though, I can do scrambled eggs with ham.  And now, avocado!!
I have mentioned many times before I could live on avocados, and put them with everything. Â Well here is proof. Â I put them with eggs. Â They were amazing! Â Â The buttery avocado blends with the creamy eggs, and I really liked it. Â Topped with a few fresh chives, and it is even better! Â So not only does it taste amazing, but it is full of healthy fat, and protein to get your day off right.
Avocado Scrambled Eggs
2 eggs
1 Tbls milk
1 tsp butter or margarine
1/2 avocado, diced
1 tsp chives, chopped
Heat a skillet over medium low heat. Â In a small bowl beat the eggs and the milk together until light in color, about 30 seconds. Â Once the pan is hot, add the butter to the pan, and swirl to coat. Â Pour in eggs. Â Stir the eggs occasionally, until they start to set. Â Add the avocado, and continue stirring until the eggs are fully cooked. Â Top with fresh chives to serve.
Those look so good! I’m def going to be making this for my family this week:)
And Avacados are a fantastic sournce of fiber, much lacking in American diets.
looks delicious…i would add some cheese to it also!
Yum! Can’t wait to give it a try – I usually slice an avocado in half, remove the pit, crack an egg into the hollowed part of the avocado and then bake it for about 10 mins at 375 – delicious!
