Prepare Ingredients.
Gather all ingredients. Crack the 3 large eggs into a bowl and beat them gently with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
Tip: Beating the eggs well incorporates air, making the scramble fluffier. -
Toast the Bread.
Place the 2 slices of whole wheat bread in a toaster or toaster oven. Toast until they are golden brown and crisp, about 3-4 minutes depending on your toaster.
Tip: Toast while preparing the eggs to save time. -
Heat the Pan and Add Olive Oil.
Place a non-stick skillet or frying pan on the stove over medium-low heat. Add 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the pan and let it warm for about 30 seconds.
Tip: Medium-low heat prevents eggs from cooking too fast and becoming rubbery. -
Cook the Scrambled Eggs.
Pour the beaten eggs into the pan. Let them sit undisturbed for about 20 seconds until they start to set around the edges. Gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges to the center. Continue to cook and gently stir every 10 seconds until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist, about 2-3 minutes.
Tip: Remove from heat just before fully cooked, as residual heat will finish cooking the eggs. -
Plate and Add Salsa.
Transfer the scrambled eggs to a plate. Spoon 3 tablespoons of salsa evenly over the eggs to add a fresh, tangy flavor.
Tip: Use salsa with chunks of tomato, onion, and herbs for texture and taste. -
Serve with Toast.
Serve the scrambled eggs with the warm whole wheat toast on the side. Optionally, you can spread a little butter or avocado on the toast if desired.
Tip: Cut the toast diagonally for an appealing presentation.
Pro tips
- Use a non-stick pan to prevent eggs from sticking and to make cleaning easier.
