Cuisine: Keto
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/2 cup diced bell peppers
- 1/2 cup diced onions
- 1/2 cup cooked sausage or bacon
- 1/4 cup shredded cheese
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 large eggs, 1/2 cup diced bell peppers, 1/2 cup diced onions, 1/2 cup cooked sausage or bacon, 1/4 cup shredded cheese, and salt and pepper to taste.
- In a medium-sized bowl, crack the 4 large eggs and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the diced onions and bell peppers. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes, or until the vegetables are softened and fragrant.
- If you're using cooked sausage or bacon, add it to the skillet with the sautéed onions and bell peppers. Stir everything together and cook for an additional 2 minutes to heat the meat through.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet over the sautéed mixture. Allow the eggs to sit for a few moments before gently stirring with a spatula. This will help form soft curds.
- Continue to cook the eggs, stirring occasionally, until they are just set but still slightly creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will continue to cook slightly after being removed from the heat.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the shredded cheese evenly over the top of the scramble. Cover the skillet for a minute to allow the cheese to melt.
- After the cheese has melted, give the scramble a final gentle stir to combine everything. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if desired.
- Serve the loaded breakfast scramble immediately on plates, and enjoy your delicious keto low-carb meal!
Tips
- Ingredient Variations: Feel free to customize your scramble by adding other low-carb vegetables like spinach, zucchini, or mushrooms. You can also experiment with different types of cheese for added flavor.
- Cook the Eggs Perfectly: To achieve that creamy texture, avoid overcooking the eggs. Remove them from the heat when they’re slightly underdone, as they will continue to cook in the residual heat.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Opt for fresh, high-quality eggs and meats. Organic or pasture-raised eggs can make a noticeable difference in flavor and nutrition.
- Meal Prep: You can prep your ingredients the night before. Chop the vegetables and cook the sausage or bacon ahead of time to make your morning cooking even quicker.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your Loaded Breakfast Scramble with a side of avocado slices or a dollop of sour cream for an extra creamy touch that complements the dish beautifully.
