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

By

 


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.

  1. I just want to let you know that this is the only place I was able to pin this recipe! It is the best one I've tried yet and I've tried many!! Thank you for tweaking this so that the texture and the taste is palatable, even to my hubby who hasn't given up chocolate! I love them!! <3 <3 <3

  2. 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?

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  8. 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.
