Equipment

- Whisk or fork for eggs
- Toaster or toaster oven
- Sharp knife for avocado and fruit
- Cutting board
- Small mixing bowl
- Spatula for scrambling eggs
- Serving plates
Ingredients
- For the Avocado Toast:
- 2 slices whole grain or sourdough bread
- 1 large ripe avocado
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Red pepper flakes optional
- For the Scrambled Eggs:
- 3-4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk or cream
- 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or herbs optional
- For the Fresh Fruit:
- 1 cup mixed berries strawberries, blueberries, raspberries
- 1 small banana sliced
- 1 tablespoon honey optional
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Prepare the Toast Base: Toast bread slices until golden brown and crispy. While toasting, cut avocado in half, remove pit, and scoop flesh into a small bowl.
- Make Avocado Spread: Mash avocado with lemon juice, salt, and pepper until creamy but still slightly chunky. Add red pepper flakes if desired.
- Scramble the Eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add milk, salt, and pepper, then whisk until well combined. Heat butter in a non-stick pan over medium-low heat.
- Cook Eggs Gently: Pour egg mixture into heated pan and let sit for 20 seconds. Using a spatula, gently push eggs from edges toward center, allowing uncooked egg to flow underneath.
- Finish Scrambling: Continue this process for 2-3 minutes until eggs are just set but still creamy. Remove from heat immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Assemble the Toast: Spread mashed avocado evenly on toasted bread. Top with warm scrambled eggs, distributing them evenly.
- Prepare Fresh Fruit: Wash berries and slice banana. Arrange fruit attractively on the plate alongside the avocado toast.
- Final Touches: Garnish with fresh herbs, drizzle fruit with honey if desired, and serve immediately while toast is still warm.
Notes
The key to perfect scrambled eggs is low heat and patience. Removing them from heat while slightly underdone allows residual heat to finish cooking without creating rubbery texture. Choose avocados that yield slightly to gentle pressure but aren't overly soft. Day-old bread actually toasts better than fresh bread, providing better texture contrast.
