HOW TO MAKE THE BEST SCRAMBLED EGGS
Whether you like soft and creamy scrambled eggs with cream cheese, or well-set and fully cooked egg muffins, this stress-free recipe will help you find the perfect consistency.
Use the same technique and wrap them up in a tortilla to create a cheeseburger egg wrap!
THREE TIPS FOR MAKING PERFECT SCRAMBLED EGGS
These three simple techniques will help you:
- Stirring the eggs in butter until they’re just set, taking them off the heat, folding the cheese through guarantees soft eggs and stringy cheese.
- Cooking eggs over low heat allows for better control over the consistency, keeping them soft.
- Gently pushing the eggs into piles with a spatula or wooden spoon while folding them is the trick. It takes just over a minute until they’re set and no runny egg spreads out onto the pan.
Mozzarella cheese is added to this recipe for added protein and flavour.
HOW TO SERVE
Simply halve, pit and peel your avocado. Then scoop out some of the flesh to leave a nice and rustic avocado ‘bowl’ for the scrambled eggs. Serving them with heirloom tomatoes is optional and tastes incredible. Top with crispy bacon pieces fresh herbs and pepper.

For this scrambled eggs recipe, yes we add a splash of milk to make the eggs extra creamy. Usually, 2 teaspoons of milk per egg is the perfect amount as more than that will make them too wet and runny.

Scrambled Eggs in Avocado
Ingredients
- 1 large avocado
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper 4 grinds of cracked pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1.05 ounces mozzarella cheese shredded
- 1.05 ounces bacon finely diced
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes quartered to serve, optional
- 1 teaspoon fresh herbs parsley, chives, or basil for topping
Instructions
- Fry the bacon pieces in a nonstick pan until golden and crisp; transfer to a paper towel lined plate.
Avocado Halves
- While bacon is frying, prepare avocados: halve, pit and gently remove the skin.
- Scoop out some of the avocado flesh, leaving a 1cm thick edge around to create a 'boat.' Season with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 2 grinds fresh cracked pepper, set aside.
Scrambled Eggs
- Lightly whisk the eggs with the milk and remaining salt and pepper.
- Melt the butter over low-medium heat in the same nonstick pan.
- Add the eggs and let them sit for about 5 seconds. Using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, stir the eggs using long gentle strokes, pushing them into a pile. Continue folding the eggs into piles around the pan for about 1 minute until no longer wet/runny.
- Once set to an almost custard-like consistency, remove from heat and quickly fold the cheese through for an additional 10 seconds until cheese melts (the eggs will continue to cook from the residual heat of the pan).
- To serve, spoon immediately into the prepared avocado boats and top with the crispy bacon and herbs. Season with a little extra salt/pepper if desired. Serve with tomatoes.
Notes
- Stir your eggs in butter for a more creamy flavour and texture
- Use a low to medium heat to avoid overcooking
