Green Garlic Scrambled Eggs with Sliced Avocado
Preparation and cooking time:
10 minutes
Green garlic looks like a green onion or very small leek and has a wonderful, mild garlic flavor. Use it all, including the green tops. The eggs should be removed slightly underdone: the residual heat will finish cooking the eggs before you get your fork into them and they will stay more tender and creamy.
Ingredients:
- 1/2 avocado, 100gr, 3.5oz
- 3 eggs, 195gr, 6.9oz
- 2 - 3 green garlic, 36gr, 1.3oz
- 2 tbs crème fraiche or Greek yogurt, 37.5gr, 1.3oz
- 1 tsp cold, hard butter, 5gr, .17oz
- 2 tsp butter - any temperature, 9.5gr, .33oz
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
- Cut the stem ends off the green garlic and remove the outer layer.
- Slice about 1/8" (.3cm) thick including green tops.
- Cut avocado, remove pit. Remove half from shell and slice. Divide and arrange on plates.
- In medium nonstick skillet melt the 2 tsp of butter over medium heat. Add green garlic and sauté just until starting to come apart, about 3 minutes. They should keep a bit of crunch.
- In medium bowl whisk eggs.
- Add yogurt, salt, pepper and whisk.
- With a knife cut the 1 tsp of cold butter into tiny pieces and add to eggs. This will melt as the eggs cook making them really creamy.
- Add the eggs to the green garlic in the pan and with a spatula gently stir the eggs, mixing in the green garlic.
- When the eggs are almost, but not quite, set, divide them and put on plates.
- Serve immediately.
Note: To store the avocado, wrap it in cling film, making certain that the cut surfaces touches the film, refrigerate)
