Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 2–3 large eggs
- 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1/2 avocado, cut into chunks (optional)
Cooking Fats and Seasonings:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Accompaniments:
- 3 tablespoons fresh salsa
Instructions
- Warm a cast iron or heavy-bottomed skillet over low-medium heat, ensuring even surface temperature for optimal cooking.
- Crack eggs into a mixing bowl, season with salt and pepper, then vigorously whisk until the mixture becomes light and aerated.
- Introduce butter to the heated skillet, allowing it to melt and coat the cooking surface uniformly.
- Pour whisked eggs into the skillet, gently folding and scraping with a spatula to create soft, billowy curds within 1-2 minutes.
- Remove eggs from heat when they reach a creamy, slightly moist consistency, preventing overcooking.
- Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving bowl as the foundational layer of the breakfast burrito bowl.
- Layer shredded cheese over warm eggs, allowing residual heat to slightly melt the cheese.
- Garnish with fresh salsa, diced avocado, and additional toppings like cilantro, sour cream, or crispy bacon bits.
- Serve immediately while ingredients are warm and textures are at their peak for maximum flavor enjoyment.
Notes
- Choose a sturdy cast iron skillet for even heat distribution and better flavor development.
- Avoid overcooking eggs by keeping heat low and gently folding them to create soft, creamy curds.
- Try different cheese varieties like pepper jack or sharp cheddar for unique flavor profiles.
- Customize your bowl with protein alternatives such as black beans, grilled chicken, or tofu to suit various dietary preferences.
