Recipe preparation

Essential Ingredients

Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:

  • Fresh Eggs: Use high-quality eggs for the best flavor; organic or free-range are great choices.
  • Broccoli: Fresh broccoli florets add crunch and nutrition; look for bright green stalks.
  • Mushrooms: Any type works wonders here; I prefer cremini for their earthy taste.
  • Avocado: A ripe avocado brings creaminess; choose one that gives slightly when pressed.
  • Olive Oil: A splash of olive oil enhances flavors; use extra virgin for sophistication.
  • Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings that elevate every ingredient’s natural flavor.
  • Garlic Powder (optional): A sprinkle adds depth; feel free to skip if you’re not a garlic fan.

Let’s Make it together

First things first—let’s get our cooking hats on!

Prep Your Veggies: Start by washing and chopping the broccoli into small florets and slicing your mushrooms thinly. Ensure they are roughly the same size for even cooking.

Heat It Up: In a non-stick skillet over medium heat, add olive oil until shimmering. It should be hot enough that water droplets sizzle when flicked onto the surface.

Sauté Those Mushrooms!: Toss in your sliced mushrooms first since they take longer to cook. Sauté until they’re golden brown and fragrant—about 4-5 minutes will do!

Add Broccoli Magic: Once the mushrooms are ready for their close-up, throw in the chopped broccoli. Stir occasionally until it turns vibrant green—around 3 minutes should suffice.

Whisk Those Eggs!: While veggies are dancing away in the pan, crack your fresh eggs into a bowl and whisk them vigorously until combined. Add salt and pepper to taste.

The Grand Finale!: Pour the egg mixture over your sautéed veggies in the skillet. Give everything a gentle stir as it cooks to achieve fluffy curds—remove from heat once they reach your desired doneness.

Serve immediately topped with slices of creamy avocado—and voilà! You’ve just created a masterpiece worthy of any brunch table!

Enjoy this delightful scramble on its own or pair it with toast! Your breakfast will never be boring again!
