SCRAMBLED EGGS AVOCADO
6 slices bacon, diced
8 eggs
% cup milk
V 4 teaspoon salt
V« teaspoon garlic powder
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 avocado, pitted, peeled and
cubed
Parsley sprigs, optional
In 18-inch omelet pan or skillet
over medium heat, cook bacon
until crisp. Remove from pan,
drain and set aside. Pour off all but
2 tablespoons of bacon drippings.
Beat together eggs, milk and
seasonings. Over medium heat,
heat reserved bacon drippings
until just hot enough to sizzle a
drop of water. Pour in egg mix
ture. As mixture begins to set,
gently draw an inverted pancake
turner completely across the
bottom and sides of pan, forming
large soft curds. Stirring in
avocado before eggs are com
pletely set, continue until eggs are
thickened but still moist. (Note; It
is better to remove scrambled eggs
from pan when they are slightly
underdone. Heat retained in eggs
completes the cooking.) Do not stir
constantly. Turn out onto serving
platter and sprinkle with reserved
crumbled bacon. Garnish with
parsley, if desired.
