Scrambled Eggs with Cheddar, Avocado and Sauteed Onions

I wanted to make something for my kids this morning for breakfast, other than cold cereal.

I had not been feeling so hot the last few days... Ok, I'm gonna take that one back, it's been since Wednesday of last week that I fixed them a nice hot yummy meal. I woke up Wednesday with a really bad head-ache, which was basically a migraine, then by Thursday, I was toast. To top things off, my hubs was gone, so, that never helps things! My oldest daughter loves to help in the kitchen, and her way of helping is getting some cereal out and getting the milk for all the kids. Don't get me wrong, it's GREAT! And I soooooo appreciated her help! But I knew it was time to make something for them. I am still so very tired, but this is pretty easy to make!

I was also itching to use my fresh farm eggs that I got Saturday at the Farmer's Market. PERFECT opportunity to use them! Well, half of them anyways! ;)

Let me just say one thing. Farm fresh eggs are THE best! And I am not joking on that one! They are soooo much bigger, fresher (well duh!), yellower, they are just way better!



One avocado mashed and ready (I am going to apologize for the pics, they are dark... I was in a hurry to get this up, so I didn't take the time to go through all of them and lighten them up! ;))

My oldest really concentrating on her egg breaking! ;)


Saute some onions in some coconut oil


Here are my yummy farm fresh eggs!!!


I whisked the eggs, then added the cheese


Pour your eggs and cheese right over the onions


Cook and stir so they will be scrambled! yummy!


Turn off heat, add your mashed avocado


And viola! Yummy!!!



Scrambled Eggs with Cheddar, Avocado and Sauteed Onions

1 avocado
1 small onion, chopped
6 eggs
1/2 - 3/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Take your avocado and mash up in a small bowl, set aside.
Place a little bit of coconut oil in a skillet big enough to hold your eggs. Saute the onions until tender. While onion is cooking, break eggs in bowl and whisk. Add your cheese and stir. (You can add some salt and pepper here if you would like).
Add your eggs to the skillet and cook until desired tenderness. Keep stirring to get the scrambled eggs! ;)
Turn off heat and add mashed up avocado. Stir to combine and serve hot!

*You could also dice your avocado and stir it in gently to your cooked eggs.
Add a splash of hot sauce, or red pepper flakes if you want it a bit more spicy. Or you could add a hot cheese instead of a cheddar cheese.
