Feta and Avocado Scramble

A good breakfast is what gets me through the day.  Or the morning.  Or both.  I never tire of coming up with new spins on traditional breakfast, mostly because it is my favorite meal.  It's something about that combination of eggs, spices, veggies, and more often than not cheese that I find satisfying enough to start my day on the right foot.

I am going to get right to the point on this post.  There's no story behind this one, it's just quick, easy, and very, very good (not to toot my own horn).  It's one of our favorites, we have it at least once a week, and as usual, this recipe calls for cheese.  Are you beginning to see a pattern yet?  I want to remind you that if you are strict primal, the cheese can easily be cut out with the same satisfying results.

Feta and Avocado Scramble

(for 2 hungry adults)

• 5 eggs
• 1/4 cup feta
• 1 avocado (sliced in half, then diced)
• 1 clove garlic (minced)
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1/2 tsp onion powder
• 2 tbsp bacon grease or olive oil
• salt and pepper to taste

Crack all 5 eggs into a bowl and add the dry spices (paprika, powders, salt and pepper).  Mix well.  Slice the avocado in half the "hot dog" way and remove the pit.  I then use a knife to add horizontal and vertical slices so I can easily scoop the flesh out later with a spoon.

Heat the pan on medium and add the grease/oil of your choice.  Saute the garlic for 1-2 minutes, then add the egg mixture.  If you like the feta melted throughout, add it now too.  If not, then wait.

When you can scrape the cooking eggs into a "pile" but while they are still quite moist, add the feta and avocado.  Continue to scramble the eggs by mixing and breaking apart with a wooden spoon.

We like our eggs not runny at all, so stop cooking when the eggs are finished to the consistency of your liking.  Sometimes I add a grapefruit and bacon to fill out the meal, or maybe a muffin!  Eric recommends putting hot sauce on top for an extra kick.  Any way you eat this meal, it is sure to become one of your favorites!
