These Spicy Avocado Scrambled Eggs are where it’s at for us these days. This paleo breakfast recipe combines a few of our favorite things re: fluffy eggs + avocado + spicy salsa. Admittedly, we alternate between making our own pico/salsa and glopping store bought salsa on top. This time we went with Homemade Pico de Gallo, however we’ve also used store bought salsa because Costco Kirkland brand medium salsa is never a bad choice. And that’s not even a sponsored mention. It’s just straight up how we feel about the situation. We feel strongly about our salsas.

If you take your breakfasts as seriously as we take our salsas, then you’ll love this almost-literal mashup of goodies. Spicy Avocado Scrambled Eggs are a filling way to start the day. And if the days start to run together for you the way they have for us, there’s nothing that says these eggs are only for mornings. They are for ALL THE TIMES. And you can adjust the amounts of each ingredient to feed a few or the whole family.

Whatever time of day it is for you right now, let’s jump in and get our spicy on!

Spicy Avocado Scrambled Eggs ingredients

These ingredients are straightforward. The thing to note is that instead of focusing on exact amounts, I zero in on general ratios. If the avocados are small, then I go with two and I might reduce the number of eggs by 1 or 2. If I want more surface area for all my yummy toppings, then I increase the number of eggs. We aren’t terribly scientific on this one. 😂

  • First, the spicy: homemade pico de gallo or medium heat salsa.
  • Next, the avocado: 1 medium avocado or 2 small avocados.
  • Finally, the fluffy eggs: If I am making this for our family, I usually do about 8 eggs.
  • The extras: Coconut oil or olive oil for the pan and sea salt and coarse black pepper for garnishing.

How to make Spicy Avocado Scrambled Eggs

To make the eggs nice and fluffy, we cook them on a low heat, and we don’t scramble them immediately. Slow and steady wins this race.

  1. Add a few tablespoons of coconut oil or olive oil to a skillet and melt on a low heat (on a stove that measures up to 10, this would be about a 2-3). Crack 8 eggs into a bowl and stir them together. Pour the egg mixture into the warmed skillet. Let the eggs cook through slowly (keep the heat low). While the eggs warm up, slice an avocado into wedges.
  2. Once the egg yolks rise to the top and the mixture starts to turn orange, then gently scramble the eggs. Transfer them to a serving plate, add the avocado wedges, and drizzle the salsa or pico de gallo over the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and coarse black pepper.
  3. This breakfast recipe is best enjoyed right after it’s prepared.

Spicy Avocado Scrambled Eggs {Paleo}

Print Recipe

Spicy Avocado Scrambled Eggs are a delicious paleo breakfast recipe that is super-filling, easy to make, and perfect for brunch, lunch, or dinner, too! Shake things up with salsa or homemade pico de gallo! Options included in the post! {Paleo}

  • Prep Time: 5 minutes
  • Cook Time: 15 minutes
  • Total Time: 20 minutes
  • Yield: 4–6 servings 1x
  • Category: Breakfast Recipes
  • Method: Stovetop
  • Diet: Gluten Free

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1–2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
  • 6–8 eggs
  • 1–2 avocados, cut into wedges
  • 1/4 cup medium heat salsa or homemade pico de gallo
  • Sea salt and coarse black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Add a few tablespoons of coconut oil or olive oil to a skillet and melt on a low heat (on a stove that measures up to 10, this would be about a 2-3). Crack 8 eggs into a bowl and stir them together. Pour the egg mixture into the warmed skillet. Let the eggs cook through slowly (keep the heat low).
  2. While the eggs warm up, slice an avocado into wedges. Once the yolk rises to the top and starts to turn orange, then gently scramble the eggs. Transfer them to a serving plate, add the avocado wedges, and drizzle the salsa or pico de gallo over the top. Sprinkle with sea salt and coarse black pepper.
  3. This breakfast recipe is best enjoyed right after it’s prepared.

Notes

  • Let the eggs cook over a LOW heat for several minutes (this could take as long as 15 minutes).
  • Don’t over-scramble the eggs. These eggs err on the softer, fluffier side, so the less they are handled, the better.
