  • For a vegan alternative, substitute scrambled eggs with tofu scramble and use vegan cottage cheese.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste and add hot sauce if desired for extra heat.
  • Serve with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added freshness.
  • To save time, prepare scrambled eggs and avocado ahead of serving.
