Super Fast Scramble

Very often we look for fast and straightforward ketogenic recipes for breakfast and we forget how quickly we can just as easily prepare scrambled eggs!

This dish is very versatile, making it easy to add a few leftovers from your fridge.

Ingredients:

Spinach, red bell peppers, mushrooms, ghee or coconut oil, ham, salt and eggs

Directions:

• • Chop up the ham and vegetables.
  • Place 1/2 tablespoon of ghee or coconut oil in your frying pan. Sauté the ham and vegetables in the melted fat.
  • Whisk three eggs in a different frying pan with 1/2 tablespoon of ghee or coconut oil and cook on low to medium heat while stirring the eggs to avoid overcooking.
  • Add pepper and salt to the eggs once they are ready.
  • Finally, add the sautéed ham and vegetables into the cooked eggs. Mix it up and then serve immediately.

Ingredients:

Ghee, chopped onions, cloves of garlic, cauliflower, pepper, eggs, diced avocado, ground beef.

    • Reduce the heat and add in some grated cauliflower. Cook for around 3 minutes.
    • Meanwhile, mix 1/2 cup of water, mayo, cumin and fish sauce into a big measuring cup. Whisk until the mixture is well combined and then pour it into the pot.
