Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a non-stick skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium-low heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to brown.
  2. Step 2: Crack 4 large eggs into the skillet, season with 1/4 tsp salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, then gently fold with a spatula until softly set but still moist, about 3-4 minutes.
  3. Step 3: While the eggs cook, slice 1 medium avocado in half, remove the pit, and slice the flesh into thin half-moons. Place the avocado slices on top of the eggs and sprinkle with 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese.
  4. Step 4: Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 1 minute until the cheese melts and the avocado is warmed through. Garnish with 1 tbsp chopped fresh chives.

How do I scale Crispy Keto Scrambled Eggs with Avocado 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.
