Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 slices bacon, diced
- 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium-sized bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is well combined and slightly frothy.
Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the diced bacon. Cook until the bacon is crispy, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon from the skillet and set it aside, leaving the bacon fat in the pan.
Reduce the heat to low and add the butter to the skillet. Once the butter has melted, add the spinach and cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Allow it to cook gently, without stirring, for about 1 minute, until the edges start to set.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs into the center as they begin to set, creating soft folds. Continue to cook and gently stir until the eggs are just scrambled and slightly creamy.
Once the eggs are nearly done, sprinkle in the cooked bacon and half of the shredded cheddar cheese. Stir gently until the ingredients are well distributed and the cheese begins to melt.
Remove from heat and divide the scramble evenly between two plates. Top each with the remaining cheddar cheese.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Classic Egg Scramble, perfect for a filling low-carb meal.
