About the Recipe
A satisfying, protein-rich keto breakfast featuring softly scrambled eggs cooked in butter and crispy bacon slices. Perfectly straightforward and ready in just a few minutes.
Ingredients
Ingredients:
3 large eggs (Chicken or Duck)
1 tablespoon butter (grass-fed preferred)
2 slices bacon (sugar-free, uncured)
Sea salt, to taste
Preparation
Crispy Bacon:
Cook Bacon: Place bacon slices in a cold skillet. Turn heat to medium, cooking bacon gently for about 5-7 minutes, flipping occasionally, until crispy.
Time-Saving Tip: Cook bacon in batches in the oven ahead of time (400°F for 15-20 minutes) and refrigerate, then quickly reheat each morning.
Drain: Transfer cooked bacon slices to a plate lined with paper towels to remove excess grease. Save the bacon grease for another application!
Scrambled Eggs:
Whisk Eggs: Crack eggs into a bowl, add a pinch of salt, and whisk lightly.
Cook Eggs: Melt butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Pour eggs into skillet and cook gently, stirring continuously, until eggs are softly scrambled (about 2-3 minutes).
Easy Cleanup Tip: Using a non-stick pan makes cooking and cleanup quick and effortless.
Tips to Make it Even Easier:
Batch Cooking: Make a batch of bacon once a week and store in the fridge for instant breakfast prep or a quick snack!
Microwave Option: Short on time? Scramble eggs in a microwave-safe dish for 45 seconds, stir, then microwave another 30-45 seconds until just set.
Advance Prep: Crack and whisk eggs the night before, stored covered in the fridge, ready for immediate cooking in the morning. Every second counts!
Quick & Simple Flavor Boost Options (Optional):
Sprinkle scrambled eggs with smoked sea salt for extra depth of flavor.
Scramble eggs with a small spoonful of sour cream or heavy cream (optional dairy) for richer texture.
