Recipe information

  • Yield

    Serves 2

Ingredients

1 small onion
1/2 firm-ripe California avocado
4 large eggs
2/3 cup grated extra-sharp Cheddar (about 2 ounces)
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Garnish: chopped fresh cilantro sprigs

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Chop onion. Halve, pit, and peel avocado and cut into 1/4-inch pieces. In a bowl whisk together eggs and Cheddar and season with salt and pepper. In a nonstick skillet heat butter over moderately high heat until foam subsides and sauté onion, stirring, until just beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add egg mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until eggs are just set, about 1 minute. Remove skillet from heat and stir in avocado.

    Step 2

    Serve eggs garnished with cilantro.
