Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk eggs in a bowl with salt and pepper until evenly colored. Dice avocado and tomato into 1/4-inch cubes.
  2. Step 2: Melt butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat. Add tomatoes and cook for 1 minute until softened.
  3. Step 3: Pour in eggs and stir gently with a silicone spatula, scraping the bottom of the pan, for 2-3 minutes until softly set but still moist.
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat. Stir in diced avocado and chopped chives, folding gently until evenly distributed and avocado is warmed through.
  5. Step 5: Cook for an additional 30 seconds off-heat to let flavors meld without overcooking the eggs.
