Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs whisked with a pinch of salt and pepper
  • 0.25 cup shredded cheddar cheese optional
  • 0.5 grilled chicken breast sliced
  • 0.25 avocado mashed
  • 0.25 avocado sliced
  • 0.25 cup cottage cheese
  • 6-8 cherry tomatoes roasted or fresh
  • 0.5 ripe pear halved
  • 0.33 cup fresh raspberries
  • fresh chives chopped
  • salt to taste
  • pepper to taste
  • olive oil for drizzling (optional)
  • hot sauce for drizzling (optional)

Equipment

  • Bowl
  • Non-Stick Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Plate

Method
 

  1. Step 1: In a bowl, whisk 2 large eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a non-stick skillet over low heat. Pour in egg mixture and gently push with a spatula until curds form and eggs are just set but still moist. If using, sprinkle shredded cheddar over eggs before fully cooked and let melt.
  2. Step 2: If using leftover grilled chicken, slice it into strips or bite-sized pieces. If grilling fresh, season and cook a chicken breast until tender and cooked through, then slice.
  3. Step 3: On a spacious plate, artfully arrange the warm scrambled eggs, sliced chicken, mashed avocado, avocado slices, cottage cheese, cherry tomatoes (roasted or fresh), pear half, and fresh raspberries.
  4. Step 4: Garnish with chopped fresh chives and freshly ground black pepper. Drizzle with olive oil or hot sauce, if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Substitutions & Additions: Customize your plate with turkey bacon, smoked salmon, chickpeas, spinach, bell peppers, blueberries, feta, pesto, or red pepper flakes. Tips for Success: Avoid overcooking eggs by cooking gently over low heat. Season generously, use ripe fruit/avocado. Prep chicken, chives, and tomatoes ahead. Enjoy the warm and cold contrast. Storage: Best enjoyed fresh. Store cooked chicken, eggs, cottage cheese, and cut fruit/veggies separately in airtight containers for up to 3-4 days. Reheat chicken and eggs gently.
