    Sometimes I make a breakfast scramble using asparagus, shredded potatoes, peppers, onions, mushrooms, pepper and a dab of butter...YUMMY!!!
    Otherwise I might do any veggies I have in the fridge - cauliflower, broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, onions, asparagus, spinach, sometimes I add a little Feta cheese, salsa or hot sauce to change it up.

    I usually scramble them with low-fat shredded cheese and pieces of Canadian bacon. Then top with a little salsa. If I want a little more filling breakfast (if I know I will be having a pretty light lunch) I will combine all that in a low-fat wheat wrap. :)

    "His research, published online in the journal Atherosclerosis, found that people who eat egg yolks regularly have about 2/3 as much plaque buildup as smokers."

    A big handful of fresh herbs from the garden (oregano, dill, basil...whatever's out there), finely chopped mushrooms and spinach or kale with a tiny bit of grated good parmesan and lots of pepper......fresh herbs are amazing.

    Habanero's minced up or just hot sauce. I actually hate the taste of whole eggs but love egg whites.

    it's my daughter's birthday today and she wanted a mummy made cake not a shop one. :flowerforyou:

    I know people are joking with the yolks part, but I usually do that myself. I'll put in some (maybe half a cup) of egg whites and then put one egg in with it. I used to do just plain egg whites, but it got boring quickly. Now I do that with some spices like pepper and cayenne pepper.

    However, I put my egg whites on a piece of toast after as well. If I don't put spices on as I am cooking. I will put it all on toast with Frank's Redhot sauce. It's a delicious meal :3

    yolks

    ^^^ this

    egg yolks contain the "good" type of cholesterol and there's no need to avoid them unless you have a medical issue. They're a great source of fat soluble vitamins.

    If you're trying to cram in a lot of protein for very few calories (it happens occasionally when you do IIFYM lol) then any omelet recipe is good, just leave out the yolks or make it with just one yolk. But IMO this is the only situation where I'd do this, because the yolk is extremely nutritious, and really 75 cals for one egg, it's not a high calorie food given how much protein, vitamins etc you get for those 75 cals.
