Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 Large eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 1 medium, diced Tomato
- 0.25 cup, finely chopped Red onion
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 small, finely chopped Jalapeño
- 1 tablespoon Lime juice
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt for salsa
Instructions
Start by making the salsa. In a small bowl, combine the diced tomato, red onion, chopped cilantro, jalapeño, lime juice, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt. Mix well and set aside to allow the flavors to meld together.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl, crack 4 large eggs and whisk them together with 2 tablespoons of heavy cream, 0.25 teaspoon of salt, and 0.25 teaspoon of ground black pepper until well blended and slightly frothy.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat until melted.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Allow it to set slightly, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the eggs from the edges towards the center. Continue cooking slowly to ensure creamy, soft scrambled eggs.
Once the eggs are softly set but still slightly runny, remove the skillet from the heat. The residual heat will complete the cooking.
Divide the scrambled eggs between two plates and top with the prepared salsa.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious low-carb scrambled eggs with fresh salsa.
