Ingredients (Serves 1–2)

For the Scrambled Eggs

  • 2 large eggs
  • Salt & black pepper, to taste
  • 1 tsp olive oil or butter

For the Veggies

  • ½ cup mushrooms, sliced
  • ½ cup broccoli florets, chopped small
  • 1 tsp olive oil
  • Salt & pepper to taste

For Serving

  • ½ ripe avocado, sliced
  • Optional garnish: red pepper flakes, fresh parsley, lemon squeeze

🥄 Directions

1. Sauté the Vegetables

Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and chopped broccoli. Sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms release their moisture and become golden and the broccoli softens slightly. Season with a light pinch of salt and pepper.
Tip: If you prefer softer broccoli, cover the pan for 1 minute to steam.

2. Prepare the Scrambled Eggs

While the vegetables cook, crack 2 eggs into a bowl, add salt and pepper, and whisk until smooth and slightly frothy.
In a separate small skillet, heat 1 teaspoon butter or oil over medium-low heat. Pour in the eggs and let them sit for a few seconds before gently stirring with a spatula. Continue to push the eggs from the edges toward the center until they form soft, creamy curds. Cook for 2–3 minutes, keeping them slightly glossy for the best texture.

  • Drizzle with lemon juice for brightness
  • Sprinkle fresh herbs for extra flavor
