{Trim Healthy Style} Breakfast Egg Scramble {and a Shortcut!}

March 14, 2014 By Melissa Beene Ford 8 Comments

 


I KNOW there’s nothing about this recipe that’s earth shattering or even remotely original.

It’s just that I kind of get stuck in ruts on this THM journey, and found myself SO. BURNED. OUT. ON. EGGS. for breakfast.

But they’re cheap, fast, and easy, and so incredibly healthy, chock full of PROTEIN and that incredible amino acid Tyrosine that makes you feel good…. so I want to eat lots of them, but had to shake up my usual morning routine, and I found a shortcut that probably EVERYBODY in the world knows about but I just stumbled upon in my grocery store freezer section.

So I’m sharing what *I’ve been doing lately in the hopes that this simple recipe might provide some inspiration to someone else who needs a ‘new’ idea for something to do with eggs! 

Ready? It starts with THIS, Bird’s Eye Recipe Ready veggies already cut up and ready to go! DID YOU KNOW ABOUT THIS? I did NOT! I LOVE shortcuts like this that make it easier to whip up healthy meals in a hurry! *I’m not affiliated with Bird’s Eye, just enamored with this Recipe Ready business, FYI.

There are several different varieties…. I like the Pizza Supreme because it has mushrooms and olives. YUM.

 
 
Dump half the bag into your skillet and saute them with a tablespoon of butter. 
 
 
While those are sauteeing, break three eggs into a bowl. THREE EGGS provide a hefty dose of Tyrosine, which helps your body make Serotonin.  
 
 
Whisk the eggs with a little bit of heavy cream. You know Trim Healthy Mamas believe in healthy (low carb) fats like butter and cream…. 
 
 
Pour your whisked egg mixture into the skillet with the veggies. Is there anything more appetizing than raw eggs? I hope you said yes.
 
 
Use a scraper to pull the eggs from the edge to the middle of the pan as they ‘set’ around the edge. As if you needed a lesson in how to make scrambled eggs…
 
 
When the eggs are set and there is NO trace of anything glistening (unless you’re my husband who likes his eggs slimy…*insert gagging emoticon here), turn them out onto a plate. 
 
 
Now, this may sound weird, but I LOVE garlic salt on my egg scramble.  The husband thinks that’s weird, but then he likes snotty eggs, so what does he know? I like this Real Salt from Redmond.
 
 
I have to share my eggs with THIS cuteness most mornings, which is why I cook 3. But then she ate 2/3 of them. I’m not even kidding. So tomorrow… FOUR EGGS. It’s OK because she’s cute and cute goes a long way.
 
 
See? None left. If only Tyrosine helped grow hair… 
 
 
Trim Healthy Style Egg Scramble
Ingredients
1 T butter
1/2 of a 12-oz package frozen veggies (I like Pizza Supreme blend from Bird’s Eye)
3 eggs
2 T heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste
 
Directions
Saute veggies in butter in a skillet over medium heat. As veggies are cooking, whisk together eggs and cream  in a separate bowl. Cook veggies until tender, then add egg mixture to skillet. Using a scraper pull the eggs from the edge of the pan to the center as they ‘set,’ and repeat until eggs are desired doneness. Salt and pepper to taste. Serves one adult and one very hungry toddler.

    So I'm new to THM and just made these today. So yummy! How many of them would you say I could eat immediately after an S meal?

    I don't have liquid stevia. Can you tell me what the equivalent in Truvia or Splenda would be? Or even table sugar and I can do the conversion.

    The eggs look great! I'm always up for shortcuts in the morning when my brain isn't functioning. Kinda like yesterday when I made automatic coffee without water… Anyway, my little girl started growing hair when I started using actual shampoo instead of baby wash on her bald head. Timing or not, it worked. Until then, I was a master with alligator clips and KY to stick the bows on.

    I do the same thing with my eggs in the morning, but I slow fry fresh onions and peppers one night while I am fixing dinner, pop them in a storage container in the refrigerator and pull a bit out each day for my eggs. It helps me to get my eggs done faster in the morning.

I love Saturday. 💕 Saturday’s my favorite. 😁 Projects going down today, starting with three gallons of white paint from @sherwinwilliams. What in the world should I paint first? 🤔 What’s happening at YOUR house today?
Snow in East Texas. It’s a big deal. ❄️ Snow in East Texas. It’s a big deal. ❄️
It’s a beautiful day if you’re solar powered ☀️ like me. It’s also a beautiful day for napping in the sun ☀️ if you’re like @sophiejunethedoodle. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I feel SO fortunate to get to work from home where I can sit by a window and even open it when the weather is right 👌🏻 even tho I can hear #goldendoodle snores from my home office... 🤔 Working from home has been on my #visionboard for years and it finally happened. 👏🏻What’s on YOUR vision board for 2021? 👉🏻Answer my poll in my stories! 👈🏻 #theresnoplacelikehome #workfromhomelife #iloveworkingfromhome
The whole Christmas 🎄 story, in these lyrics ri The whole Christmas 🎄 story, in these lyrics right here. I believe every word is true. After church this morning I decided these words needed to be added to my chalk wall. 👉🏻 In the darkness we were waiting
Without hope without light
Till from heaven You came running
There was mercy in Your eyes
To fulfil the law and prophets

To a virgin came the Word
From a throne of endless glory
To a cradle in the dirt

Praise the Father
Praise the Son
Praise the Spirit three in one
God of glory
Majesty
Praise forever to the King of Kings

To reveal the kingdom coming
And to reconcile the lost
To redeem the whole creation
You did not despise the cross

For even in Your suffering
You saw to the other side
Knowing this was our salvation
Jesus for our sake You died

And the morning that You rose
All of heaven held its breath
Till that stone was moved for good
For the Lamb had conquered death

And the dead rose from their tombs
And the angels stood in awe
For the souls of all who’d come
To the Father are restored

And the Church of Christ was born
Then the Spirit lit the flame
Now this gospel truth of old
Shall not kneel shall not faint

By His blood and in His Name
In His freedom I am free
For the love of Jesus Christ
Who has resurrected me
HaPPy NeW YeaR! 🎉 Is today the day we throw out HaPPy NeW YeaR! 🎉 Is today the day we throw out the cat houses made of all the Christmas boxes and blue tape, or do we have to wait for epiphany? 🤔 Wishing you ALL the blessings of a brand new year! 👏🏻 May the Lord crown the year with bounty so that even the wagon tracks overflow with abundance. Psalm 65:11 🌱

Lots of lessons learned. Lots of figuring out what I want and what I don’t and who I wanna be and who I need around me. Can’t wait to see what 2021 holds but I know for sure there will be love and grace and mercy and peace. #topnine #topnine2020 #theyearinreview
