You’ll Need:

  •  2 or 3 organic, cage-free eggs
  •  2 or 3 Asparagus Speers, trimmed & chopped.
  •  Fresh Organic Baby Spinach
  •  Optional- 1 tbs water for each egg
  •  1or 2 slices of turkey bacon cooked and chopped or crumbled (or nitrate free, uncured, all natural bacon)
  •  2 tbs Grass Fed Butter (or Smart Balance Omega Butter) or Coconut Oil
  •  A sprinkle of Sea Salt
  •  A sprinkle of Ground Black Pepper
  • Optional- A pinch of Nutmeg after whisking.

Next:

  1.  Add 1 tbs of your fat of choice (butter, coconut oil, low cal cooking spray, etc.) to pan.
  2.  Add veggies and cook over medium heat, until soft and then remove from pan and set aside.
  3. In the meantime, roughly whisk the egg mixture with a mixer or fork. Make sure not to whisk too much, leaving some texture to the eggs.
  4. Turn pan to low and add the remaining tbs of fat to pan. You may then add your whisked egg mixture.
  5.  Once the mixture is in the hot pan, let the eggs set for about 10 seconds. After that, gently stir the eggs on low heat with a wooden spoon or spatula.
  6. When the eggs are still slightly wet, add veggies and herbs of your choice and cook for another minute or two, fluffing them together.
  7. Toss in cooked crumbled turkey bacon or add to the side for an extra punch of protein.
  8. Top with your favorite hot sauce.

Keep in mind- You can use any veggie combo you like. I love adding avocado, peppers and fresh salsa. You just got to get creative!
