Classic scrambled eggs with toast
Perfect for those lazy weekend mornings when you just want something simple and satisfying. You probably have all the ingredients in your kitchen right now, and it comes together in minutes.
Serving: 2 | Pre Time: 2 minutes | Cooking Time: 8 minutes
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- A splash of whole milk (about 2 tablespoons)
- A couple of tablespoons of unsalted butter
- A pinch of salt
- A pinch of black pepper
- 2 slices of your favorite bread
- A little more butter for the toast
Instructions
- Crack your 4 large eggs into a medium bowl.
- Add that splash of whole milk to the eggs.
- Season the egg mixture with a pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
- Whisk everything together with a fork until the yolks and whites are just combined and slightly frothy.
- Place a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and let it warm up for about 30 seconds.
- Add a couple of tablespoons of unsalted butter to the warm skillet.
- Once the butter has melted and starts to foam, pour in your whisked egg mixture. Tip: Cooking over medium-low heat prevents rubbery eggs.
- Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until the edges just begin to set.
- Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center, creating large, soft curds.
- Let the eggs sit again for another 15-20 seconds, then repeat the gentle pushing and folding motion.
- Continue this process, folding the eggs every 15-20 seconds, for about 4-5 minutes total. Tip: Stop cooking when the eggs are still slightly wet and glossy; they’ll finish cooking from residual heat.
- While the eggs are cooking, toast your 2 slices of bread in a toaster or toaster oven until golden brown.
- Immediately spread a little butter over the hot toast.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate.
- Serve the eggs immediately with the buttered toast on the side. Tip: For extra flavor, try a sprinkle of fresh chives or a dash of hot sauce on top.
So creamy and soft, these eggs practically melt in your mouth with a rich, buttery flavor. The crispy, buttery toast is the perfect vehicle for scooping up every last bite. Try serving them with a side of avocado or a few cherry tomatoes for a colorful, complete breakfast.
Avocado toast with a sprinkle of chili flakes
Perfect for those mornings when you want something satisfying but don’t want to spend hours in the kitchen, this avocado toast with a sprinkle of chili flakes is your new go-to. It’s creamy, spicy, and comes together in just a few minutes—honestly, what more could you ask for?
Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 5 minutes
Ingredients
- 1 slice of your favorite bread (sourdough is awesome here)
- 1 ripe avocado
- A squeeze of fresh lime juice (about half a lime’s worth)
- A pinch of salt
- A sprinkle of chili flakes (go light or heavy, it’s up to you!)
Instructions
- Pop your slice of bread into the toaster and toast it until it’s golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes depending on your toaster.
- While the bread toasts, cut your avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Tip: Use a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure for the creamiest texture.
- Mash the avocado with a fork until it’s mostly smooth but still has some small chunks for texture.
- Stir in the fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt until everything is well combined. Tip: The lime juice not only adds flavor but also helps prevent the avocado from browning too quickly.
- Once your toast is ready, spread the avocado mixture evenly over the warm bread.
- Finish by sprinkling chili flakes over the top. Tip: For extra flavor, you can lightly toast the chili flakes in a dry pan for 30 seconds before sprinkling, but it’s totally optional.
Kick back and enjoy that creamy, cool avocado against the warm, crunchy toast—the chili flakes add just the right amount of heat to wake up your taste buds. It’s fantastic as is, but for a fun twist, try topping it with a fried egg or some crumbled feta cheese for extra protein. Seriously, once you try it, you’ll be making this on repeat!

- A small pat of butter (about 1 tbsp)
- A tiny drizzle of honey (optional, but so good)
- A pinch of ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Lay your two slices of bread on a clean cutting board.
- Spread the creamy peanut butter evenly over one slice of bread. Tip: If your peanut butter is stiff, let the jar sit in warm water for a minute to make it easier to spread.
- Arrange the sliced banana coins in a single layer over the peanut butter.
- If using, drizzle the honey lightly over the banana slices.
- Sprinkle the pinch of ground cinnamon over the bananas.
- Place the second slice of bread on top to close the sandwich.
- Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat (about 300°F).
- Add the small pat of butter to the skillet and let it melt completely.
- Carefully place your assembled sandwich in the skillet.
- Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the bottom is golden brown and crispy. Tip: Press down gently with a spatula to help it cook evenly.
- Carefully flip the sandwich with your spatula.
- Cook the other side for another 2-3 minutes, until it’s also golden brown and crispy. Tip: Keep the heat at medium-low to prevent the peanut butter from burning.

Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 2 minutes | Cooking Time: 3 minutes
Ingredients

– A handful of fresh berries (like strawberries or blueberries)
– A drizzle of honey or maple syrup
– A sprinkle of chia seeds or sliced almonds for extra texture
– A tiny pinch of sea salt (trust me, it makes the flavors pop)
Instructions
1. Pop your bread slices into a toaster and toast them until they’re golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes on a medium setting.
2. While the toast is still warm, spread a thick layer of nut butter evenly over each slice—this helps it melt slightly for extra creaminess.
3. Wash and slice your berries if needed, then scatter them generously over the nut butter.
4. Drizzle a little honey or maple syrup over the top, just enough to add sweetness without making it soggy.
5. Finish with a sprinkle of chia seeds or sliced almonds and that tiny pinch of sea salt to balance the flavors.

4. Once boiling, immediately remove the pan from the heat, cover it with a lid, and set a timer for 10 minutes for perfectly set yolks.
5. While the eggs sit, rinse and slice your handful of fresh fruit.
6. After 10 minutes, use a slotted spoon to transfer the eggs to a bowl of ice water and let them cool for 2 minutes to stop the cooking process—this makes peeling way easier.
7. Gently tap each egg on the counter and roll it to crack the shell, then peel under cool running water to help the shell slide right off.

9. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt over the eggs if you like.
Kind of amazing how such basic ingredients come together, right? The eggs are firm and creamy, while the fruit adds a juicy, sweet burst. Try mashing the yolks with a bit of the fruit for a quick, chunky spread on toast!

Scrambled egg and spinach wrap
Getting a quick, healthy breakfast on the table can feel impossible, but this wrap is your secret weapon. You just need a few simple ingredients and about 15 minutes to make a warm, satisfying meal that will keep you full for hours.
Serving: 1 | Pre Time: 5 minutes | Cooking Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
– A couple of large eggs
– A big handful of fresh spinach
– One large flour tortilla
– A splash of milk or water
– A pat of butter or a drizzle of olive oil
– A generous pinch of salt and a crack of black pepper
– A sprinkle of shredded cheddar cheese (optional, but highly recommended)
Instructions
1. Crack your eggs into a small bowl and add the splash of milk or water, the salt, and the pepper. Whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined and the mixture looks a bit frothy.
2. Place a medium non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter or olive oil, letting it melt or heat up for about 30 seconds.
3. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the warm skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for 20-30 seconds until the edges just start to set.
4. Using a spatula, gently push the cooked edges toward the center, tilting the pan to let the uncooked egg flow into the empty spaces. Tip: Cooking eggs low and slow like this prevents them from getting rubbery.
5. Continue this gentle pushing and tilting process for about 2-3 minutes until the eggs are mostly set but still look slightly wet and glossy.
6. Immediately add the big handful of fresh spinach and the optional shredded cheese right on top of the eggs in the skillet. The residual heat will wilt the spinach and melt the cheese perfectly.
7. Give everything a final, gentle stir to combine, then remove the skillet from the heat. Tip: Taking the eggs off the heat just before they look fully done ensures they stay creamy, as they’ll continue to cook a bit.
8. Warm your large flour tortilla directly over a low gas flame for 10-15 seconds per side, or in a dry skillet for about 20 seconds per side, until pliable and slightly toasted. Tip: Warming the tortilla makes it much easier to roll without cracking.
9. Spoon the scrambled egg and spinach mixture onto the center of the warmed tortilla.
10. Fold the bottom edge of the tortilla up over the filling, then fold in the sides, and roll it tightly away from you to form a secure wrap.
Nothing beats the creamy, soft texture of the eggs against the fresh bite of spinach, all wrapped up in a warm, slightly chewy tortilla. For a fun twist, slice it in half on a diagonal and serve with a side of salsa or hot sauce for dipping.
