5 Minute Keto Breakfast Bowl
Equipment
- Skillet
- Mixing bowl
- Knife
- Cutting board
- Spatula
Ingredients
For the breakfast bowls
- 4 large eggs use pasture raised if possible
- 2 slices thick cut bacon sugar free, chopped
- 1 cup fresh baby spinach roughly chopped
- 1 small avocado pitted, peeled, and diced
- 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese or your favorite keto friendly cheese
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream to make the eggs extra creamy, optional
- 1/4 teaspoon fine sea salt or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper or to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon garlic powder optional for extra flavor
Optional toppings
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives or green onion
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes for heat, optional
Instructions
- Add the eggs, heavy whipping cream, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to a small mixing bowl and whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined and slightly frothy.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the chopped bacon until crisp, then transfer the bacon to a plate while leaving about half of the rendered fat in the skillet.
- Add the butter to the skillet with the bacon fat and let it melt, then add the chopped spinach and sauté until just wilted and bright green.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and gently stir with a spatula, scraping the bottom as the eggs slowly set to create soft scrambled eggs.
- When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly glossy, sprinkle in the shredded cheddar cheese and most of the crisp bacon, then fold just until the cheese starts to melt and the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Divide the cheesy egg and spinach mixture between two bowls, then top each bowl with diced avocado, the remaining bacon, and any desired toppings such as chives or red pepper flakes before serving immediately.
