Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering (about 1 minute, visible ripples form).
  2. Step 2: Add 4 large eggs, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and a pinch of black pepper to the skillet. Gently scramble with a rubber spatula for 3-4 minutes until softly set but still moist, stirring occasionally to form small curds.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup fresh spinach and 1 medium avocado (diced into 1/4-inch cubes) to the skillet. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring gently, until spinach wilts and avocado is heated through (no browning).
  4. Step 4: Remove from heat and stir in 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese until melted and fully incorporated, creating a creamy, cohesive scramble.
