Flavor Variations
Just like dairy-free scrambled eggs, this recipe is easy to adjust for new tastes.
Spicy: Add some chopped jalapenos or red pepper flakes to the scramble. I do this with my eggs and ground beef scramble, too.
Toppings: Sliced avocado, leeks, extra spinach, or salsa all make for delicious additions.
How To Make High- and Protein Egg Scramble
Step 1: Prep your vegetables by peeling and slicing everything.
Step 2: Sauté the veggies and whisk together the eggs and egg whites. Cook them in a separate pan until fluffy.
Step 3: In the skillet, combine the eggs into the veggie mixture and mix. Portion onto two plates and top with spinach and avocado if desired.
Expert Tips
If not following the Whole30 or paleo diet, you can use soy sauce (confirm it's gluten-free as needed) in place of coconut aminos.
Nutritional yeast just gives a subtle cheesy taste. If you don't have any, you can omit it or sprinkle on any cheese that fits your diet.
Though this recipe has the eggs made in a separate pan, know that you can combine the egg mixture into the same pan as the vegetables and cook them that way as well. Keep stirring to break everything up.I use tallow as my cooking oil, but avocado oil works as well.
Store leftover egg scramble in an airtight container in the fridge for 2-3 days. Reheat it in the microwave or on the stove over low to medium heat until warmed through.
How To Serve It
Of course, egg scramble always tastes amazing with bacon! This instant pot bacon is the easiest to whip up! I also like to mix something like taco meat from when I make ground beef in a crock pot for added protein.
You can also make it into something like a breakfast wrap using these egg white wraps, freeze them, and have a wicked meal prep breakfast for busy mornings. Or, serve the scramble with my gluten-free bagel recipe.
High-Protein Egg Scramble FAQs
You can increase the protein in scrambled eggs by mixing in egg whites or cottage cheese.
To get 30 grams of protein for breakfast, make something like a high-protein egg scramble and pair it with a bowl of Greek yogurt and berries. Or, whip up a high-protein smoothie.
