Ingredients

1/3 cup chopped onions

1 tsp. olive oil

6 large eggs

1 1/2 ripe, Fresh California Avocados, peeled and seeded

1/2 Tbsp. lemon juice

In a well-greased 10-inch oven-safe frying pan, evenly scatter avocado, cheese, olives, roasted pepper and sautéed onion over bottom of pan. Gently pour reserved egg mixture into pan.
