Scrambled Egg with Avocado
I’ve recently subscribed to a new app on my iPhone which is another great idea to promote healthy living from Jamie Oliver. The YOU-app is about making simple micro-actions each day to create a better you, in order to live a happy, healthy life. I know we all try to do this but sometimes our best intentions don’t always happen. The YOU-app gives you one micro-action each day which you complete by taking a picture. So for example my action for today was to ‘Pimp my Breakfast’. I have been aware of the health benefits of eating avocados for quite some time and have been thinking about ways to incorporate this fruit into my diet, so today was the day to try something new. Originally I was simply going to slice a boiled egg and the avocado on toast but after a quick search I came across the website thekitchn.com which listed 10 Ways to Eat and Avocado for Breakfast. However, it was the suggestion to use the avocado with scrambled eggs which caught my eye and I was intrigued to find out whether these two ingredients would work together. I started to prepare the breakfast and immediately my hubby asked what I was making and no surprise he wanted in on the experiment. The result was eye-opening and absolutely delicious (we both agreed). The the combination of the avocado with the scrambled eggs made the dish even creamier and if you are an egg lover I recommend you give this a try. I wondered if Jamie Oliver would agree that I had managed to ‘Pimp my Breakfast’, so just to be sure I decided to add just a few dashes of Tabasco to my eggs to give a little kick to whole dish and my metabolism. A great start to the day, so thank you very much to Jamie Oliver for the inspiration.
Scrambled Egg with Avocado (Tabasco optional)
Prep – 5mins Cooking 3-5mins I
Ingredients
2 Eggs (I used Old Cotswold Legbar from Waitrose)
1 tbsp Semi-skimmed Milk
1 medium Avocado
1 – 2 slices of Granary bread
Salt and pepper
Tomatoes and cucumber to garnish Tabasco (optional)
Method Beat the eggs and milk and then add to a pan over a low heat. Prepare a simple salad garnish and pop the bread in to toast. When the eggs are barely set, and still soft, scoop out the avocado in small junks and add straight to the pan with the eggs. Stir in, gently cooking until warmed through. Taste and season with salt and pepper. Serve immediately! If you are feeling daring and understand the health benefits of spicy kick, then add a few drops of Tabasco before tucking in!
