How to Make It

Start your delicious breakfast creation with these simple steps:

Preheat the skillet

Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over low-medium heat.

Whisk the eggs

Add the eggs to a medium-sized bowl and whisk to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper to your taste, and whisk until the eggs are fluffy.

Add butter

Add the butter to the preheated skillet and swirl to coat.

Cook the eggs

Pour in the eggs and allow them to spread in an even layer. Cook for 20-30 seconds, then begin by scraping around the edges of the pan with a silicone spatula.

Scramble

Slide the silicone spatula through the eggs, creating curds, until the eggs are cooked through; about 1-2 minutes total.

Assemble the bowl

Transfer the scrambled eggs to a bowl and top with shredded cheddar cheese, salsa, cubed avocado, and the toppings of your choice.

Serve

Serve and enjoy!
