Dads Easy Cheesy Eggs with Chili Butter.
This dish is a delightful twist on scrambled eggs! Creamy cheddar and spicy chili butter make every bite irresistible!
Servings: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tablespoons salted butter
- 1 clove garlic chopped
- 1-2 teaspoons chili flakes (or Aleppo pepper)
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup finely shredded cheddar cheese
- sea salt to taste
- black pepper to taste
- 2 pieces sourdough or whole grain bread toasted
- 1 small avocado lightly mashed
- fresh herbs for garnish
Instructions
- Start by heating the extra virgin olive oil and salted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped garlic, chili flakes, and paprika. Stir and let it cook for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- In a bowl, crack the large eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of sea salt and black pepper.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the chili butter mixture. Allow the eggs to sit for a moment before gently stirring with your spatula. Cook to your desired doneness, usually around 3-5 minutes for creamy, soft scrambled eggs.
- Just before the eggs are fully set, sprinkle the finely shredded cheddar cheese over the top. Gently fold the cheese into the eggs until melted and gooey.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast your slices of sourdough or whole grain bread until golden brown. This adds a delightful crunch that pairs perfectly with the creamy eggs.
- Spread the lightly mashed avocado on the toasted bread, and then spoon the cheesy eggs on top. Garnish with fresh herbs for a pop of color and flavor.
