Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons of avocado oil
• 1 onion, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of water
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste
• 8 ounces of assorted mushrooms, thinly sliced
• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons of minced fresh chives
• 1 avocado, peeled, pitted and thinly sliced

Preparation

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of avocado oil and add the onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions caramelize, about 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup of water when the onions start to become dark, and season them with salt and pepper. Transfer to a bowl.
2. Add another 1 tablespoon of the avocado oil to the pan, then add mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Cook until mushrooms brown, then transfer to a bowl.
3. In a separate bowl, whisk eggs with the remaining 2 tablespoons of water and the chives, then season with salt and pepper. Warm the remaining avocado oil in a skillet, then add the egg mixture.
4. Cook until set, using a spatula to push on the sides. Fill the middle of the set egg mixture with your onions, mushrooms, and other toppings. Serve hot.
