How to Make Scrambled Egg Avocado Breakfast
Making this dish is easier than you might think! Follow these simple steps, and you’ll have a warm, satisfying breakfast ready in minutes.
Step 1: Prep the eggs
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk if you’re using it, along with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Whisk everything together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy. This step helps make the eggs light and fluffy.
Step 2: Heat the pan
Place a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter. Let it melt completely, swirling the pan to coat the surface. You want the butter to sizzle slightly but not brown.
Step 3: Cook the scrambled eggs
Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet. Use a spatula to gently stir the eggs as they cook, moving them around the pan in a slow, folding motion.
This technique creates soft, creamy curds. Remove the eggs from the heat while they’re still a little glossy, they’ll finish cooking from the residual heat.
Step 4: Prepare the avocado
While the eggs are cooking, slice your avocado. You can fan it out for a fancy touch or mash it if you prefer a spreadable texture. Season with a pinch of salt and red pepper flakes for extra flavor.
Step 5: Assemble and serve
Now for the fun part! If you’re serving the eggs and avocado on toast, bagels, or in a wrap, start by layering the avocado on your base.
Top with the scrambled eggs and garnish with parsley or chives. Serve immediately and enjoy!
Scrambled Egg Avocado Recipe Variations
One of the reasons I love this dish is how customizable it is. Here are a few ideas to make it your own:
- Add cottage cheese: For an extra boost of protein and creaminess, stir a spoonful of cottage cheese into the eggs right before they’re done cooking. It melts beautifully into the eggs and adds a tangy twist.
- Make it keto-friendly: Skip the bread or wraps and serve your scrambled eggs and avocado in a bowl. Add a handful of greens like spinach or arugula for a low-carb, nutrient-packed breakfast.
- Turn it into a wrap: Spread mashed avocado onto a tortilla, add scrambled eggs, and roll it up for a portable breakfast. You can even toss in some shredded cheese or cooked bacon for extra flavor.
- Try it on a bagel: Swap out the traditional toast for a toasted bagel. The chewy texture pairs wonderfully with the creamy avocado and fluffy eggs.
If you have leftovers, store the scrambled eggs and sliced avocado separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator. Reheat the eggs gently on the stovetop or in the microwave before serving.
Frequently Asked Questions About Scrambled Egg Avocado Breakfast
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Absolutely! Simply skip the milk when whisking the eggs and use a dairy-free butter alternative or olive oil in the skillet.
What’s the best way to keep avocado from browning?
If you’re saving half an avocado for later, leave the pit in and wrap it tightly with plastic wrap or store it in an airtight container. A squeeze of lemon or lime juice can also help slow browning.

Whisking the eggs well and adding a splash of milk can make them extra fluffy. Cooking them low and slow while stirring gently also helps create that soft, airy texture.
