Ingredients
Instructions
- Mix eggs, pepper, salt, and cream with a fork.
- Stir in the cubed avocado.
- Heat the margarine in a 12-inch Dutch oven over medium heat until just hot enough to sizzle a drop of water.
- Pour the egg mixture into the oven.
- As the eggs begin to set at the bottom and sides, lift the cooked portions with a spatula so the uncooked portions can flow to the bottom.
- Avoid constant stirring.
- Cook until the eggs are thickened through but still moist.
- Sprinkle the crumbled bacon on top of the eggs before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For perfect scrambled eggs, use fresh eggs and avoid overcooking. If you want a lighter texture, you can substitute light cream with milk or a non-dairy alternative. Consider adding fresh herbs like chives or parsley for an extra flavor boost. If you're a fan of different textures, try incorporating sautéed vegetables or cheese like feta or cheddar into the mix, as seen in many American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the scrambled eggs with crusty toast or alongside roasted tomatoes for a hearty breakfast. They pair nicely with a fresh salad or fruit for a balanced meal. For a more filling option, serve with hash browns or alongside Pork Chops With Apples And Stuffing for a delightful brunch spread.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. When reheating, do so gently in a microwave or on low heat in a skillet to prevent the eggs from becoming rubbery. Adding a splash of cream or milk while reheating can help restore moisture.
