Light and fluffy scrambled eggs and Avocado


So my sister wants recipes with avocado so here try this one out for breakfast.

  • 4 eggs
  • 4 tbsp heavy cream
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • a dash of nutmeg
  • 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and sliced
  • Chopped fresh chives, for garnish
Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add the cream and whisk until the eggs look foamy and light. Heat a skillet over medium heat. Melt the butter until it foams (but do not brown the butter if you do you will need to start over), then turn the heat down to low and slowly pour in the eggs. Using a heat resistant rubber spatula, slowly stir the eggs from the outside of the pan to the center. Once the eggs begin to set, stirring slowly will create large, cloud-like curds. This sounds easy but perfect scrambled eggs that are soft and custard-like with no brown color are a sign of a really good cook. This process takes about 10 minutes. Season the eggs with a few cranks of black pepper and sea salt, add your nutmeg as well. Serve with a few slices of avocado and a little chopped fresh chive.

This is a rich and creamy recipe so make it with a side of home fries or some light fluffy pancakes or maybe french toast and some fresh fruit.

If you need a recipe let me know by commenting or using the live chat to the right I will get on it right away.
