Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a medium non-stick skillet, cook 2 slices bacon over medium heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Remove bacon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  2. Step 2: Add 1 tbsp butter to the skillet with the bacon grease. Crack 2 large eggs into the skillet and add 1/2 medium diced avocado. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently with a silicone spatula, for 3-4 minutes until eggs are set but still soft and avocado is warmed through.
  3. Step 3: Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide between two plates, top with crispy bacon, and sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped chives.

Can I substitute ingredients in Avocado-Infused Scrambled Eggs with Crispy Bacon?

How do I scale Avocado-Infused Scrambled Eggs with Crispy Bacon for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
