Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Base

  • 2–3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Toppings

  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 3 tablespoons fresh salsa
  • ½ avocado, cut into chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet: Warm a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over low-medium heat to prepare for cooking the eggs evenly without burning.
  2. Prepare eggs: Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them vigorously to break the yolks and combine well. Season with salt and pepper, continuing to whisk until the mixture is light and fluffy.
  3. Melt butter: Add the butter to the hot skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom evenly, ensuring a non-stick surface and a rich flavor.
  4. Cook eggs: Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet, spreading them in an even layer. Let them cook undisturbed for 20-30 seconds to start setting, then gently scrape the edges with a silicone spatula to form curds.
  5. Scramble eggs: Continue to slide the spatula through the eggs, creating soft curds until fully cooked but still moist, which should take approximately 1-2 minutes total.
  6. Assemble bowl: Transfer the scrambled eggs into a serving bowl. Immediately top with shredded cheddar cheese, fresh salsa, cubed avocado, and any additional toppings you desire.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Serve your breakfast burrito bowl warm, enjoying its combination of creamy, fresh, and savory flavors in every bite.

Notes

  • Dairy-free option: Replace butter with avocado oil or coconut oil to make this recipe dairy-free without sacrificing flavor.
  • Adding meats: Incorporate cooked ham, bacon, or sausage by adding them to the skillet before the eggs. Sauté until warmed, then add eggs and scramble together.
  • Veggie additions: For extra flavor and nutrition, cook finely diced peppers and onions with the butter for 3-5 minutes until softened before adding the eggs.
  • Additional toppings: Consider cotija cheese, queso fresco, hot sauce, sour cream, fried potatoes, crispy tortilla strips, salsa verde, enchilada sauce, crema, lime wedges, guacamole, corn tortilla chips, or chopped fresh cilantro to personalize your bowl.
