Method
 

Speedy Scrambled Egg & Avocado Toast
  1. Toast bread until golden brown and crispy.
  2. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  3. Pour whisked eggs into a non-stick skillet with melted butter or shimmering oil over medium-low heat.
  4. Cook eggs gently, pushing from edges to center, until mostly set but still moist.
  5. Slice or mash avocado onto the toasted bread and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Assemble by topping avocado toast with scrambled eggs and any desired optional toppings.
No-Cook Overnight Oats
  1. Combine rolled oats and chia seeds in a jar or bowl.
  2. Add milk, optional yogurt, and sweetener to the dry ingredients.
  3. Stir everything thoroughly until all ingredients are submerged and no clumps remain.
  4. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours or overnight to thicken.
  5. Stir before serving, add more milk if needed, and incorporate any desired toppings.

Notes

For the best scrambled eggs, ensure you don't overcook them; they should be slightly moist. Overnight oats can be customized with various fruits and nuts. Adjust sweetness to your preference in both recipes.
