Instructions
- Crack the @[Eggs] into a #[Mixing Bowl], add the @[Unsweetened Almond Milk], @[Fine Sea Salt], and @[Black Pepper]. Whisk vigorously until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy, about ~[30 seconds]. Set aside.
- Heat the @[Olive Oil] in a #[Skillet] over ^[medium-low heat]. Add the @[Garlic] and sauté for about ~[30–45 seconds] until fragrant, being careful not to let it brown.
- Pour the egg mixture into the #[Skillet]. Let it sit undisturbed for ~[20–30 seconds] until the edges just begin to set, then use a #[Spatula] to gently fold and push the eggs from the edges toward the center in slow, sweeping motions. Continue folding every ~[15–20 seconds], keeping the heat on ^[medium-low], until the eggs are just barely set and still look slightly glossy — about ~[3 to 4 minutes] total. Remove from heat immediately; residual heat will finish them.
- While the eggs are still warm, gently fold in the @[Avocado] and drizzle with @[Lime Juice]. Sprinkle with @[Red Pepper Flakes] and taste for seasoning, adding more @[Fine Sea Salt] if needed.
- Divide between two plates. Garnish with fresh @[Cilantro] and toasted @[Pepitas] if using. Serve immediately.
