Instructions

  1. Step 1: Cook bacon in a large skillet over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until crisp, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate and crumble.
  2. Step 2: Add asparagus to the same skillet with 1 tbsp olive oil, sautéing for 3 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp.
  3. Step 3: Whisk eggs, dill, salt, and pepper in a bowl, then pour over asparagus. Cook over low heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring gently until softly set but still moist.
  4. Step 4: Fold in crumbled bacon and diced avocado, cooking for 1 more minute until warmed through without breaking the eggs.

How do I store leftover Bacon-Asparagus Scramble with Avocado?

Can I substitute ingredients in Bacon-Asparagus Scramble with Avocado?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Bacon-Asparagus Scramble with Avocado 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.

Is Bacon-Asparagus Scramble with Avocado low-carb?
