Avocado Toast
Scrambled Cheesy Eggs
Fresh Fruit Side
Method
Avocado Toast
- 1
Toast the bread
Place 2 slices of whole-grain or sourdough bread in a toaster or under a broiler and toast until golden and crisp to your preference (about 2–4 minutes). Set aside on a plate.

Prepare avocado
Cut the ripe avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop flesh into a bowl. Add 1 tablespoon lemon juice, 1 teaspoon kosher salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1 teaspoon olive oil. Mash with a fork to desired texture (smooth or slightly chunky). Taste and adjust seasoning.

Scrambled Cheesy Eggs
- 4
Beat eggs
Crack 3 large eggs into a bowl, add 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.

Cook eggs
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. When the butter is melted and foaming but not browned, pour in the egg mixture. Let sit undisturbed for about 10–15 seconds, then gently stir with a silicone spatula, pushing eggs from the edges toward the center. Continue stirring slowly and folding until they begin to set but remain slightly runny (about 1–2 minutes).

Add cheese and finish
When eggs are mostly set but still glossy, sprinkle 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese over them. Fold the cheese into the eggs until melted and eggs are creamy and just cooked through (another 15–30 seconds). Remove from heat to prevent overcooking. If using, stir in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives. Taste and adjust seasoning.

Fresh Fruit Side

Prepare fruit
Place 6 hulled and halved strawberries, 1/2 cup green grapes (halved if large), and the segments from 1 orange or clementine in a small bowl.

Finish fruit
If desired, drizzle 1 teaspoon honey over the fruit and gently toss. Garnish with 4 fresh mint leaves torn or chopped. Serve chilled or at room temperature alongside the avocado toast and eggs.
