1 cup Cheddar cheese, shredded

2 tbs olive oil

1 tsp Celtic sea salt

Method

Main Dish

Prepare the Egg Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the whole milk, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until well combined and the mixture is frothy.

Cook the Eggs

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and cook, stirring gently with a spatula until the eggs are fluffy and just set. Add the shredded cheddar cheese and mix until melted. Remove from heat.

Sides

Toast the Bread

While the eggs are cooking, toast the sourdough bread slices in a toaster or on a grill until golden brown.

Prepare the Avocado

Cut the avocados in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash lightly with a fork and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Prepare the Tomatoes

Wash the cherry tomatoes and cut them in half. Set aside.

Assemble the Plates

Spread the mashed avocado on the toasted sourdough bread and top with halved cherry tomatoes and fresh basil leaves.

Beverage

Prepare the Drinks

In a large pitcher, combine fresh orange juice and sparkling water. Stir gently to mix and pour into glasses.
