Instructions

  1. Step 1: Mince 1 large avocado (pitted and peeled) and mash it thoroughly with a fork until completely smooth and free of lumps, then set aside in a small bowl.
  2. Step 2: Crack 3 large eggs into a medium bowl, add 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, and whisk vigorously for 1 minute until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Step 3: Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and melt 1 tbsp unsalted butter until it bubbles gently and coats the pan evenly.
  4. Step 4: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, then use a silicone spatula to gently fold the eggs from the edges toward the center every 30 seconds, cooking for 3-4 minutes until softly set but still moist and custardy in the center.
  5. Step 5: Remove the skillet from heat, add the mashed avocado and 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese, and stir gently until the cheese melts and the mixture becomes uniformly creamy and well combined.
  6. Step 6: Transfer to a plate, sprinkle with 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives, and serve immediately while warm.

How do I scale Creamy Keto Avocado Scrambled Eggs for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 1 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 1). 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.
