As a busy mom to a hungry toddler, I’m a dedicated egg scrambler. In fact, we have scrambled eggs most mornings. I also love avocados, so for us this recipe for avocado scrambled eggs is a match made in breakfast heaven.<\/p>\n
While the concept sounds simple (eggs and avocado, duh), it’s the execution that makes this recipe interesting. You whisk eggs with a bit of milk, then stir chunks of avocado directly into the raw egg. Next, tip the entire mix into a hot pan and scramble. The result? Super rich scrambled eggs with pockets of creamy avocado tucked throughout. A sprinkle of cooked bacon adds welcome bursts of crispy, salty flavor\u2014like little exclamation points. It’s my new favorite easy breakfast recipe<\/a>, and maybe it’ll be yours too?<\/p>\n In a bowl, beat the eggs. Whisk in the milk, salt and pepper. Finally, gently stir in the chunks of avocado.<\/p>\n In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Pour in the egg mixture. Cook, stirring gently, until the eggs are completely set.<\/p>\n Sprinkle the eggs with bacon.<\/p>\n While avocado scrambled eggs are best eaten hot from the pan, they can be enjoyed later too. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two days. Eaten cold, they make a tasty sandwich filling, or reheat them gently in the microwave.<\/p>\n To tell when an avocado is ripe<\/a>, look for one with a dark, forest green skin that gives with a gentle squeeze\u2014although don’t press too hard or you may bruise it. Overripe avocados will feel very soft. If you can find only rock-hard, bright green avocados at the store, learn how to ripen avocados<\/a> quickly. Ripe avocados are buttery, tender and full of flavor, while unripe avocados are basically inedible!<\/p>\n Pair soft, creamy avocado and eggs with something crunchy like toasted bread, a toasted bagel or crispy hash browns<\/a>. Avocado scrambled eggs are delicious with many brunch dishes<\/a>, including fresh fruit salads<\/a>, a\u00a0smoothie bowl<\/a> or muffins<\/a>. Since these eggs also make a great lunch or dinner, consider serving them with something less breakfast-y, such as a green salad<\/a>, steamed broccoli or grilled asparagus<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Avocado scrambled eggs is a quick and easy recipe that doubles as a slam dunk for a filling breakfast or a simple weeknight dinner.

I used skim milk and Oscar Mayer ready to eat bacon strips to save time. I thought the salt was too much with the bacon but my husband added more citing that something (spice) was missing.
