    I love hot banana peppers, so I put them in just about everything. If you like a little heat in your food, chop up some and throw them in your eggs.

    Another good one is spinach and goat cheese, which is super tasty.

    Or, you can play up the fresh veggies and herbs...there are so many interesting combinations!

    I really like the jennie-o turkey ham chopped up and some low cal cheese added to eggs. The night before I put everything in a mason jar in the fridge. That way I just toss it in the skillet when I get up. Here is a link for the turkey ham, my husband made fun of me for buying it. Once he tasted it he loved it (and ate almost all of it) http://www.jennieo.com/products/110-Turkey-Ham

    I like to take a package of frozen spinach, mix in a couple eggs, a bit of milk, and some parmesean cheese. You can bake it like a quiche if you like, but it ends up being more like scrambled eggs when you cut it :) It is really good :) I put the oven in a glass pie plate at 350 and bake it till a fork or knife comes out clean. :)

    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 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

    We started this in college. we called it "egg in a cup". A spray of canola oil or non-stick coating makes the cleanup easier. I like spinach, tomatoes, mushrooms, and occasionally some leftover peppers/onions from fajitas.

    My simple, easy scramble egg fix up is to whisk in 1 tablespoon or so of pesto. It's simple, easy & adds tons of flavor, plus you get the fun or green eggs. :laugh:

    Not exactly breakfast, but I like my scrambled eggs with barbeque sauce, even good on a low cal hot dog or hamburger bun.

    My family love this idea. It is easy and it is fun. Breakfast is ready in 11 minutes. It is call omelet in a bag. You put a large pot of water on to start boiling. Now you get things ready to go with it. Have a small bowl for each of these: chopped tomatoes, onions, mushroom, grated cheese, crumbled bacon, chopped ham, bell peppers.( You may not like all of these things. You can add other things to the list. You have a bowl for each item you fix. Line them up in a row. Now take a quart freezer bag...Write your name on your freezer bag with a permanent marker. (Each person puts their name on their bag too.) Now each person cracks 2 eggs in their bag. Close the bag (make sure it is sealed) Make sure you get the air out of the bag. ( It will swell during cooking.). Take the bag and squeeze and squeeze until the egg is all mixed. Now open the bag and start adding any of the items from the small bowls. Pick only things out you like. Put as much as you want in the bag. Everyone usually fixes a different bag. That's why it is so fun and also good.It is just the way YOU like it. Put some salt and pepper in on top of the food. Seal the bag again and once again make sure air is out and it is sealed. Wait for everyone to get finished with their bag and are ready to start cooking them. Take each person's bag and drop it down in the water. When it comes up to boil again, start timing....it takes 11 minutes unless you have it real crowded. (I had a big pot of water and I cooked 18 bags at one time. The more you have...the bigger the pot needs to be. When time is up. you hand each person their bag. They open it and let it roll out of the bag onto their plate. It comes out like an omelet. If you try it you will love it. Count your calories up by what you pick. It is really a low calorie meal. You can eat only this or add a piece of toast with the meal. Good luck. It's not as hard as it may seems.

    I didn't read all replies, so my suggestions may have been said already:

    1)add cheese
    2)add crumbled turkey bacon
    3) top with salsa
    4) put on a low cal tortilla w/ veggies and make a breakfast burrito
    5) turn it into an omelet instead - I find that cream cheese in an omelet goes further than other cheeses, and the way it gets all melty and gooey is delicious!
    6) if you like spicy, top with some red pepper flakes
    7) veggies, veggies, veggies - eggs go great with pretty much any green veggie, and some of other colors :)

    I mix mine with 1/2 a cup of Jimmy Dean Turkey Sausage Crumbles. That's only about 60 calories, but good protein and tasty :)

    This is my favorite breakfast...you could substitute any of your favorite veggies!

    In a bowl I scramble one whole egg and one egg white with a few dashes of Mrs. Dash Garlic Tomato Basil seasoning.
    Spray butter spray in a fry pan and saute chopped mushrooms and onions
    When almost cooked add fresh spinach until wilted
    Add egg mixture to the veggies in pan and cook through
    While that is cooking, I spread one garlic & herb laughing cow on a low-carb, high fiber whole wheat tortilla and warm in the microwave for 15 seconds
    Add egg/veggie mixture, add salt & fresh cracked pepper to taste
    Fold up burrito style and ENJOY!

    Mine aren't that healthy, but I put seasoned salt, pepper, cheese and milk in mine. I have no measurements, just eyeball it. That part drives my hubby nuts, he hates trying to make my eggs!

    I like them with chopped up tomato and swiss cheese in them. We don't put milk in them, but we do melt a pat of butter in the pan. The key is not to overcook the eggs. I try to remove them from the heat when they look almost done, as they will continue cooking for a couple minutes after I take away the heat source.
