Essential Ingredients
Here’s what you’ll need to make this delicious dish:
- Fresh Eggs: Use large eggs for optimal fluffiness; free-range is my personal preference for richer flavor.
- Broccoli Florets: Fresh or frozen works well; choose vibrant green florets for the best texture.
- Mushrooms: Any variety will do; I prefer cremini for their deep flavor that complements the eggs beautifully.
- Avocado: Opt for ripe avocados; they should yield slightly when pressed gently.
- Salt and Pepper: Essential seasonings; adjust according to your taste for that perfect balance.
- Butter or Olive Oil: Butter adds richness while olive oil gives a lighter flavor; choose based on your mood!
- Optional Fresh Herbs: Chopped chives or parsley can add a pop of freshness at the end.

Let’s Make it Together
Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients together on the counter. Chop broccoli into bite-sized pieces and slice mushrooms thinly to ensure even cooking.
Whisk Those Eggs: In a bowl, crack open the fresh eggs and whisk them vigorously until they’re mixed thoroughly. Aim for that beautiful yellow hue!
Sauté the Veggies: Heat butter or olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms first; sauté until tender and fragrant before throwing in the broccoli.
Add Eggs to the Mix: Once veggies are cooked down slightly but still vibrant green, pour in those whisked eggs! Stir gently but swiftly until they start to set.
Finish with Avocado: As soon as those scrambled eggs look fluffy and slightly undercooked (they’ll continue cooking off-heat), remove from heat and fold in diced avocado.
Season and Serve: Sprinkle salt and pepper to taste while plating your beautiful creation. You can also add fresh herbs if you desire more color!
This scrumptious dish not only looks delightful but also brings an array of flavors together seamlessly.
Eating scrambled eggs with broccoli, mushrooms & avocado has never been easier or tastier! Whether you’re hosting brunch or simply treating yourself on a lazy Sunday morning (or Wednesday afternoon), this recipe is bound to elevate your meal game.
