Making low carb simple

Instructions

  1. Heat the butter in a large frying pan on medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms, chopped red peppers, season with salt and pepper, and fry until soft.

  2. Crack the eggs straight into the pan and stir right away so everything gets well incorporated.

  3. Move spatula across bottom and side of the skillet to form large, soft curds. Cook until no visible liquid egg remains, but the eggs are not dry.

  4. Put the scramble on a plate and top with shredded parmesan and scallions.

Tip

Use a Microplane to grate the Parmesan cheese even finer for an even fluffier result.

If you prefer to mix the Parmesan cheese into the scramble, this is also a tasty option.

    Loving Diet Doctors advise, thank you. Please could you possibly improve your filters to enable users to select the number of people per meal plus the meal/s the food is required for and have this alter the shopping list? Can I add dinner time desserts to meal plans? For example, I cook dinners each day for 3 adults (2 not on Keto) we never need leftovers to repeat the dinner for lunch as I am an intermittant faster during the week and the others find their own lunches. 2 people for breakfast Sat and Sun. It will save a lot of wastage and money. Allergies could be better catered for. Tomatoe pips in our case for one person, so I replace with roasted peppers, celiac for me...not to onerous on Keto fortunately! Many thanks.

    Yes, but be sure to adjust the nutritional information accordingly. Perhaps asparagus or a bit of tomato would be a good addition.

    When I enter each exact item into my keto carb app, it totals 6.8 carbs. Others have pointed this out. Why?

    Not sure if your metric conversion is correct it states 60ml which is a liquid measure so I went with 60g which was so much cheese! I actually used about 30g otherwise I wouldn't have been able to taste anything else. Other than that it was a lovely breakfast.
