📸 Step-by-Step Cooking Guide
🥦 Step 1: Sauté Your Veggies
Use a small skillet to cook mushrooms and broccoli in olive oil.
Tip: Chop broccoli small so it cooks evenly in 4–5 minutes.
🍳 Step 2: Scramble Eggs Gently
Whisk eggs and season. Use medium-low heat and a silicone spatula to stir continuously for fluffy, soft-set eggs.
Tip: Turn off heat just before fully set—they’ll finish cooking in the pan’s residual heat.
🥑 Step 3: Assemble the Bowl
Layer veggies first, then eggs, then avocado slices for a delicious mix of textures and flavors.
