Ingredients

  • 1/2 ripe avocado

  • 1 plum tomato

  • 1/2 small jalapeno, seeded and finely chopped

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 pinch salt

  • 2 tsp butter

  • 1/2 cup grated Monterey Jack or cheddar

  • 1 tp 2 tbsp sour cream

Instructions

  • Prepare avocado, tomato and jalapeno. In a bowl, whisk eggs with 1 tbsp (15 mL) water and salt. Melt butter in a medium-size, non-stick frying pan set over medium heat. Swirl to coat bottom and base of sides. Add egg mixture but don't stir. When edges are set, after about 1 min, use a wide spatula to pull edges of eggs toward the centre and tilt pan so liquid egg mixture runs underneath. Slowly repeat until eggs are set, about 2 to 3 more min. Scatter avocado, tomato and jalapeno over one side. Sprinkle with cheese. Fold other side overtop. Slide onto a dinner plate. Dollop sour cream on top.
