Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup cooked black beans
- 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
- 2 stalks green onion, sliced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
- 1 tablespoon fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add heavy cream, salt, and pepper. Whisk together until well combined and smooth.
Heat butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until melted and foamy.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet and let it set for a few seconds before stirring.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center, allowing the uncooked portions to flow to the edges.
Once the eggs are mostly cooked with some runny parts remaining, add black beans and shredded cheddar cheese.
Continue to fold the eggs gently until they are just set and creamy; don’t overcook.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in sliced green onions.
Serve the scrambled eggs on plates and top with cherry tomatoes and fresh cilantro.
Enjoy this nutritious and delicious low-carb breakfast dish.
