Keto Scrambled Eggs
Description
This recipe focuses on softly scrambled eggs whipped with a bit of mustard and salt, cooked slowly in butter to achieve gentle curds that stay moist and tender. Cooking on low heat and stirring carefully helps maintain their creamy texture without overcooking.
The eggs are taken off the heat just before fully set, allowing residual warmth to finish cooking, preventing dryness or toughness. This results in a rich mouthfeel and soft consistency that complements keto and low-carb diets.
Suggested accompaniments include smoked salmon, avocado slices, and grilled tomatoes for a balanced meal with varied textures and flavors, ideal for brunch or lunch servings. Cheese additions such as crumbled feta or grated cheeses can be incorporated into the eggs for extra richness.
The recipe includes tips for optional ingredients and serving sizes, emphasizing portion control and net carbohydrate content.
Ingredients
- 4 egg large
- 2 tablespoon butter
- ½ teaspoon mustard
- salt to taste
Instructions
- Whisk the egg, salt and mustard in a bowl.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. As soon as it is melted - and not browned - pour in the whisked egg. Turn the heat to low.
- Let the egg set for 20 seconds. Then begin to stir with a wooden spoon or spatula. Lift and fold the egg over from the bottom of the pan. Break down any larger pieces.
- Continue until the eggs are softly set and still runny in places. Take your time!
- Take the pan off the heat just BEFORE the eggs are finished. They will continue to cook in the hot pan.
- Give them a last stir and serve immediately!
Notes
- Net carbs are approximately 0.9g per serving of eggs alone; sides like avocado and smoked salmon increase total net carbs accordingly.
- For a fuller meal, serve with grilled tomatoes brushed with olive oil and a bit of salt.
- Cheeses such as crumbled feta, grated, or cream cheese can be stirred into eggs to add richness.
- Cook eggs gently over low heat and remove from heat just before fully set to avoid dryness.
- Use a non-stick pan and wooden spoon or spatula to fold and lift eggs for soft curds.
