Avocado eggs stir-fry is a 15-minute breakfast that eats like a treat. Cubed avocado sizzles in butter until just golden, then soft-scrambles with beaten eggs, green onion, and a pinch of red chili flakes. Creamy, buttery, and satisfying, it's the fastest hot breakfast in the book.
Avocado Eggs Stir-Fry
(Total Time: 15 MIN| Serves: 2)
Ingredients:
1 medium-sized avocado, pitted and cubed
2 large eggs, beaten
2 tbsp (30 ml) green onions, finely chopped
1 tsp olive oil
1 tbsp (15 ml) butter
Spices:
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp black pepper, ground
¼ tsp red chili flakes

- Peel the avocado and cut in half. Remove the pit and cut into bite-sized cubes. Set aside.
- Plug in your instant pot and melt the butter in the stainless steel insert. Press the “Sauté” button and add avocado cubes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Pro Tips
- Sauté the avocado cubes 3–4 minutes until lightly golden before the eggs go in — they hold their shape better and pick up a savory crust.
- Add the eggs with the green onions and cook just 3 more minutes until barely set; the residual heat finishes them without making them rubbery.
- A splash of milk (about 2 tablespoons) makes the scramble creamier if you like a softer texture.
- Top with a spoonful of heavy cream or plain Greek yogurt when serving for an extra-cool, creamy contrast to the chili flakes.
