Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Dairy

  • 2–3 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • ¼ cup shredded cheddar cheese

Seasoning and Toppings

  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 3 tablespoons fresh salsa
  • ½ avocado cut into chunks (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the skillet: Preheat a cast iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan over low-medium heat to ensure even cooking of the eggs.
  2. Whisk the eggs: Add the eggs to a medium-sized bowl and whisk to break the yolks. Season with salt and pepper to your taste, and whisk until the eggs are fluffy, incorporating air for soft scrambled eggs.
  3. Melt butter: Add the butter to the preheated skillet and swirl it around to fully coat the surface, which prevents sticking and adds flavor.
  4. Cook the eggs: Pour the eggs into the skillet, allowing them to spread evenly. Let them cook undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until they start to set around the edges.
  5. Scramble gently: Using a silicone spatula, gently scrape and fold the eggs from the edges inward, creating soft curds. Continue this process for about 1-2 minutes until eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
  6. Assemble the bowl: Transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving bowl. Top with shredded cheddar cheese, fresh salsa, cubed avocado, and any other desired toppings to personalize your burrito bowl.
  7. Serve: Enjoy your hearty and flavorful Breakfast Burrito Bowl while warm as a fulfilling start to your day.

Notes

  • Dairy free: Use avocado oil or coconut oil instead of butter for a dairy-free version.
  • With ham, bacon, or sausage: Add cooked, chopped meat to the skillet before adding eggs; sauté until warmed through, then scramble.
  • With peppers and onions: Sauté diced peppers and onions with butter for 3-5 minutes until softened before scrambling eggs with them.
  • Additional toppings: Consider cotija cheese, queso fresco, hot sauce, sour cream, fried potatoes, crispy tortilla strips, salsa verde, enchilada sauce, crema, lime wedges, guacamole, corn tortilla chips, or chopped fresh cilantro for extra flavor and texture.
