Avocado
Instructions:
Thin slice the red onion and dice the bell pepper.
Crack the eggs in a bowl and whisk together. Stir in the goat cheese, chives, salt, and pepper.
Cook the veggies in the avocado oil in a large skillet for about 4 minutes or until tender. Reduce the heat to low and add a pinch of salt. Add the kale and cook until just wilted. Remove the veggies and set aside.
