A Keto Breakfast Plate with Creamy Scrambled Eggs, Mushrooms, and Avocado is a simple, nutritious, and satisfying meal that’s low in carbs and high in healthy fats, making it perfect for those following a keto diet. Here’s how you can make it:
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup heavy cream (or full-fat coconut milk for a dairy-free version)
- 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil for a dairy-free version)
- 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button mushrooms)
- 1/2 avocado, sliced
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Fresh herbs, such as chives or parsley (optional, for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon olive oil (for sautéing the mushrooms)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re soft and slightly browned. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Once done, set them aside.
2. Make the Creamy Scrambled Eggs:
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs and heavy cream (or coconut milk), adding a pinch of salt and pepper. Whisk until fully combined and a little frothy.
- In the same skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it sit for a few seconds before gently stirring with a spatula, creating soft curds. Keep stirring occasionally until the eggs are fully cooked but still creamy and soft. Be careful not to overcook them – they should be moist and tender.
3. Assemble the Breakfast Plate:
- On a plate, arrange the creamy scrambled eggs, sautéed mushrooms, and sliced avocado.
- If desired, garnish with fresh herbs like chives or parsley for added color and flavor.
4. Serve:
- Serve the breakfast plate immediately, either on its own or with a side of bacon or sausage if you want extra protein.
Tips:
- Creamy Eggs: To make your scrambled eggs extra creamy, use heavy cream or full-fat coconut milk instead of regular milk. The fat adds richness and helps create a soft texture.
- Mushroom Variations: Feel free to use other low-carb mushrooms, such as shiitake or portobello, for different textures and flavors.
- Add Cheese: If you like, you can stir in a bit of shredded cheese, like cheddar or goat cheese, into the eggs for added flavor and creaminess.
- Spices: For extra flavor, try adding a pinch of garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika to your scrambled eggs or mushrooms.
Serving Suggestions:
- Pair this Keto Breakfast Plate with a cup of black coffee or unsweetened tea to keep your morning low in carbs.
- You can also serve this breakfast with a side of spinach or arugula for added greens.
