Breakfast Burrito Bowl
Quick breakfast bowl with scrambled eggs, cheese, salsa, and avocado. Ready in 10 minutes with simple ingredients.
Ingredients
- 2-3 large eggs use 3 for more protein and satiety
- 1 tablespoon butter can substitute with coconut oil
- Salt and pepper to taste season generously for best flavor
- ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese sharp cheddar adds more flavor
- 3 tablespoons fresh salsa pico de gallo works perfectly
- ½ avocado cut into chunks optional but highly recommended
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick or cast iron skillet over low-medium heat. Gather all ingredients within easy reach.
- Crack 2-3 eggs into a medium bowl and whisk vigorously until completely combined. Season generously with salt and pepper.
- Add butter to your preheated skillet and swirl to coat the entire surface. The butter should sizzle gently without browning.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the buttered skillet. Let them sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds, then use a silicone spatula to gently push cooked edges toward the center. Continue for 1-2 minutes until eggs reach desired consistency.
- Remove the skillet from heat and transfer scrambled eggs to your serving bowl. Work quickly to add toppings while eggs are still warm.
- Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over the warm eggs so it begins to melt slightly. Add fresh salsa and avocado chunks on top.
