FAQ
-
Can I add other vegetables?
Yes! Chopped spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers would be great additions to this dish. Sauté them in the skillet before adding the eggs. -
Can I use a different type of cheese?
Absolutely! Goat cheese, cheddar cheese, or Parmesan cheese would all be delicious substitutes for feta. -
Can I make this in advance?
Scrambled eggs are best served immediately. While you can technically reheat them, they will likely dry out. You can, however, prepare the diced avocado and crumbled feta ahead of time.
