How to serve Scrambled Eggs & Avocado Toast
To elevate your presentation, sprinkle some red pepper flakes or fresh herbs over the top before serving. You could also add a squeeze of lemon juice for a zesty kick. Pair it with a light salad or fresh fruit on the side for a refreshing contrast.
How to store
If you find yourself with leftovers – though it’s hard to imagine! – store any excess scrambled eggs in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. It’s best to keep the avocado separate; however, if you want to store it, add a little lemon juice to prevent browning. Reheat the eggs on low heat to avoid overcooking.
Tips to make
For perfectly fluffy scrambled eggs, remember to whisk them well before cooking. Don’t rush the heat; medium-low is the way to go for a creamy texture. If you enjoy a richer flavor, try adding a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before whisking.
Variations
Feel free to get creative! Add toppings like diced tomatoes, spinach, or feta cheese for a Mediterranean twist. For a spicy kick, toss in some jalapeños or sriracha. You could even switch up the bread for a bagel or wrap if you’re in the mood.
