Healthy Recipe Scrambled Eggs

Yes, it will take a little longer to cook them than if you were using high heat, but the fluffy result is well worth it.

I love eggs. I love them in every possible way - hard-boiled eggs, soft-boiled eggs, or fried. And I enjoy them in various omelets such as this hearty chorizo omelet.

Eggs are my favorite weekday breakfast. On weekends I allow myself sweet treats such as cream cheese pancakes, keto pound cake, or keto scones.

But these fluffy scrambled eggs are especially good. They are like these tasty, savory, melt-in-your-mouth clouds. And they are very easy to make (though perhaps not as easy as microwave eggs), as long as you follow a few simple rules.

You'll only need four ingredients to make these delicious eggs plus an optional garnish. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here's an overview of what you'll need:

This is a very basic recipe. I don't add anything to the eggs besides salt and pepper. But there are many ways to vary this recipe. Here are a few ideas for you:

The Creamiest Scrambled Eggs (with Goat Cheese)

No! There's no milk in this recipe, and it's not needed. As a matter of fact, adding milk will only dilute the flavor of the eggs and detract from their creaminess.

2. Cook them patiently over medium-low heat and stir constantly. You want the eggs to be yellow, creamy and moist, not dry and browned.

2. I really like cooking eggs in duck fat. I get it at Whole Foods. It's delightfully flavorful. When using duck fat you never have to worry about your eggs ending up bland.

3. Another high-flavor option is to cook them in the bacon fat leftover after baking bacon in the oven. It's really good!

If you eat bread, toast is a natural choice. For those on a low-carb diet, there are plenty of low-carb and keto breads that you can use, including keto bagels, keto English muffins, or a savory version of these chaffles.

Apart from bread, I like to serve these tasty eggs with oven bacon, duck bacon, or beef bacon on the side. They're also good with beef sausage or thinly sliced pork jowls.

Scrambled eggs are a quick and simple breakfast food. They require few ingredients and cook swiftly, making them a great option for busy mornings. Basic scrambled eggs are made even healthier with the addition of nutrient-packed spinach. The leafy green is low in fat and even lower in cholesterol, making it a great supplement to your scrambled eggs.

In addition to boosting the nutritional value, spinach adds interesting texture and beautiful color to your breakfast plate. To round out this protein-packed breakfast, serve the eggs with a slice of whole-grain toast and some fresh fruit or berries. Also, don't save this dish for breakfast—eggs are a quick and easy meal that can be eaten at any time of day.

In and of themselves, scrambled eggs are a healthy dish. Eggs are high in protein as well as B vitamins and vitamin D; eggs also contain heart-healthy unsaturated fats. However, when butter, cream, cream cheese, or shredded cheese are added, the calories, cholesterol, and fat content increase. Using cooking spray or a nonstick pan, swapping skim milk for regular, and eliminating additional fatty ingredients will keep your scrambled eggs on the healthy recipe list. Adding other nutritional ingredients will, of course, boost the health factor. Spinach is full of nutritional benefits including niacin and zinc, as well as protein, fiber, vitamins A, C, E, and K, thiamin, vitamin B6, folate, calcium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, copper, and manganese.
