Garnish (Optional):

  2. Pair with a cup of herbal tea or black coffee: For a warming and satisfying morning meal.


  3. Top with a few nuts or seeds: Such as pumpkin or sunflower seeds for added crunch and nutrients.


Tips


  • Adjust the number of eggs based on your protein needs or dietary preferences.


  • If you prefer a creamier avocado, mash it with a fork and season with salt, pepper, and lime juice before adding it to the bowl.


  • Customize the flavors by adding various spices like cumin, smoked paprika, or garlic powder to the eggs while cooking.


  • For a lower-fat option, replace some or all of the olive oil with cooking spray or a non-stick pan.


  • To make this a portable breakfast, wrap the ingredients in a whole-grain tortilla or stuff them into a pita pocket for a tasty breakfast burrito or sandwich.
