Scrambled egg ideas please?

hbunting86

Hi

So my favourite breakfast has to be scrambled eggs! Perfect pre-treadmill and good for you... BUT I'm getting bored of the same breakfast every day! At the moment I scramble 2 eggs and mix with 100g baked beans... any ideas on anything else I can mix them with? I'm not so keen on them plain because of the eggy taste, so something to take the edge off that would be great!

:happy:

My mom hates eggs that taste like eggs...... So growing up, my dad loaded up scrambled eggs with every veggie imaginable and spices.

Try diced peppers, mushrooms, onions, a bit of broccoli, some reduced-fat cheese, and add garlic powder, oregano, basil, and some Italian seasoning. It's good, I promise!

I add fat free cheese and some bacos:) (But I use the egg beaters)

canadian bacon is a good thing to add, also mushrooms, zuchini and maybe some onions.

Scrambled eggs are great!! And you can always just use more egg whites if you are hungry! I like adding a little bit of low fat cheese and tomato. You can add parsley, basil, spinach, shreaded zuccini and onion is great too!

Put it in a tortilla for a quesadila

I put in any vegetable that is in the fridge. Turkey sausage works good too.

Put a tablespoon of salsa in them Mmmm... yummy. Add a scoop of black beans to make it really filling, too. Maybe a couple of slices of avocado with it if you can spare the cals.

lunch meat, steak, onions, corn tortilla strips, hot sauce, veggies...sky is the limit, bacon, sausage, cheese. I think I have had just about had everything under the sun till I read this..... baked bean! really?

I plan on having scrambled egg whites with mushrooms and low fat cheese with maybe 2 slices turkey bacon for breakfast. Sometimes I like to put it in a whole wheat pita pocket. Maybe a little salsa for a kick.

Penzey's Spices has a great seasoning blend called Fox Point Seasoning ~ I can't eat scrambled eggs w/o it!! Love, love love it!! If you don't have one near you - check out their website - they have some GREAT stuff to jazz things up w/o the calories.

The book "Hungry Girl 300 under 300" or check out Hungry Girl's website... lots of recipes for eggs. She makes her's in a mug - pretty cool recipes.

I add a piece of cheese, some sliced up tomatoes, and some jalapenos!

I've been scrambling mine then letting them go "flat" to cook. Flip them add a slice of cheese and slice of ham...I put it between whole wheat bread that I grill (no butter or anything, using a nonstick pan) and have a grilled egg, ham, and cheese for breakfast...just a dash of salt/pepper and of course my favorite lately dried parsley...

My current fav is spinach, pico de gallo, queso fresco and guacamole in a corn tortilla.

Awesome ideas guys - thanks! Haha and yes baked beans :laugh: - I'm a student so it wouldn't be the same without them somewhere in my diet hahaha.

I'm trying to do low carb for a while to give me a kick start, so eggs are a MUST! :happy:

If you're going low-carb I'd definitely try finding different flavors of cheeses to throw in there. And I second the suggestions of salsa & spices. "A man can live on packaged food from here 'til Doomsday if he has enough rosemary." Different combinations of spices can really make the same old thing taste completely different.

Here are a few combinations to try, I've used them with eggs or to spice up plain old ground beef:
mustard, rosemary, black pepper (opt. dill pickles)
salsa & cheddar cheese
peanut butter
bleu cheese dressing
Italian: dried oregano, basil, parsley, opt. fennel &/or garlic, w/ mozarella or parmesan cheese
Indian: coriander, cumin, paprika & curry
Texas: chili powder, cumin, thyme & black pepper (maybe with your beans?)
Sweet: pumpkin pie spice (opt. a little extra nutmeg &/or cinnamon)
Cajun: salt, onion powder, garlic, red pepper flakes
Sweet & Spicy: black pepper, cinnamon, white pepper, salt, thyme, garlic powder, onion powder
Thai: peanut sauce & ginger

I cook mine in a coffee mug too - 1 minute in the microwave stir @ 30 seconds. perfect everytime. Top with shredded cheddar and some franks hot sauce - YUM

Here's a couple of ideas for you.

Mexican Scrambled Eggs - Scrambled eggs with fat-free cheddar cheese, hot sauce, diced potatoes, and diced peppers with salsa on top.

Greek Scrambled Eggs - Scrambled eggs with low-fat feta cheese crumbles, sauteed onions, garlic, and spinach.

Western Scrambled Eggs - Scrambled eggs with diced ham, diced potatoes, diced peppers, chopped onions, and swiss cheese.

hbunting86

Awesome I was just going to ask if feta would go in the eggs ok.. although don't see why not. I think I'll experiment tomorrow with a fresh tomato, crumbled feta and maybe red onion... hmmm yum looking forward to breakfast already... best meal of the day! haha

vinnysgirl

I love scrambled egg with either bacon and mushroom or it is very nice with smoked salmon mixed in with it

jalapenos

add a tblespn of water to a pan... add jalapenos, onions, stir to cook a little, then add tomatoes and cilantro...(you can also add sausage now if you want)...let them cook up a little.. then add eggs and scramble... I love this and it's easy and low in cals!!!

I love scrambled eggs! But I, too, get sick of plain ol' eggs after a while. I added green onion for the first time the other day and loved it! Green onion, real bacon pieces (just a few) and just a little bit of shredded cheese. It was soo yummy! I also found that when the "Eggy" taste gets to be unbearable, if I scramble one whole egg with 2 or 3 egg whites, it changes the flavor enough to get over that hump.

megruder

I like a couple egg whites with some shredded cheddar or mozzarella and Mrs. Dash Southwest Chipotle seasoning.

I love to mix the eggs with green peppers, red peppers and jalapeños to give it a kick. When they are almost done, I throw a piece of land o lake naturally slender american cheese on them as a topper. Crumbled bacon helps with the "egg" taste as well.

Laura_beau

smoked salmon, wilted spinach & black pepper.... piled onto a big grilled portabello (flat) mushroom

If you are low on money (like me!) Then you can buy the cheap smoked salmon trimmings- they work perfectly

This is my favorite egg recipe. It's so easy to make and comes out beautiful.

Souffle’ Omelet
3 Eggs separated
1 teaspoon olive oil or can use cooking spray
½ cup Havarti cheese
Fresh herbs

Preheat broiler and position oven rack about eight inches from the heat. Separate three large eggs. In a bowl, whisk yolks with a pinch of salt. In another bowl, whisk the egg whites until soft peaks form. Then whisk in ¼ of the whites into the yolks. Fold the yolk mixture into the remaining whites until the streaks are gone. In an 8 inch ovenproof nonstick skillet, melt 1 ½ tablespoons of butter. Add the egg mixture to the skillet and shake to evenly distribute. Sprinkle cheese over the mixture and transfer skillet to the oven. Broil the omelet for 3 minutes, until lightly browned and very puffy. To finish, garnish with fresh herbs and carefully slide onto a plate folding in half.
