    If you're near a Trader Joe's, their frozen shakshuka starter is good, quick, and low calorie.

    In my opinion, peanut butter would be a weird thing to have with what is essentially tomato and egg stew. My guess is it's hummus in the picture.

    1 cup of ratatouille over a scrambled egg, sprinkled with parmesan cheese. ~200 calories and very filling.
    I make a huge batch and freeze in individual portions (FoodSaver).

    Lots of good recipes for chicken & groundout (peanut) stew out there, so I don't see it as especially weird from a flavor context (assuming it's not one of those sickly sweet peanut butters aimed at kids). But I would guess that's tahini (which makes a good sandwich with banana).

    Thanks!

    And of course it would be hummus - wonder why my mind jumped to peanut butter? :D

    Peanut butter would be a horrible thing to eat with shakshuka lol.

    That's why I asked :D

    Nothing fancy. I just do scrambled eggs with onions, tomatoes + salt & pepper and then some vegetables on the side.

    I make an omelet with eggs and cauliflower or green beans. Sprinkle on a little garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and grated Parmesan cheese. Eat with a little crushed tomatoes on the side.

    I make crustless quiche a lot. The base I do is 5 eggs, 1 cup of whole milk (or 1/2 cup any milk + 1/2 cup half and half), whisked together with salt and pepper. I put that in a glass pie plate greased with Pam spray. Then I add whatever toppings I feel like that day. My favorites are: Bacon & swiss, and Ham & swiss & broccoli. Sometimes I make a tuna version- for that one I use 4 eggs, the same amount of milk/cream and cheese, and add 1/4 cup of mayo for the base. Then I add one can of drained tuna, a sprinkle of dill, and then I put thin rounds of lemon slices on top. Bake at 350 for about 40 minutes.

    My favorite way to have eggs are scrambled eggs with salsa, hard boiled eggs with everything bagel seasoning, or a poached egg over toast.

    Not so much low cal, but I make this breakfast bake when I have a lot of people staying at my house and it is very yummy. you cube up a half loaf of Italian bread, toss in a baking dish with cut up breakfast sausage a diced onion and a diced green pepper, mix together 12 eggs 1 cup milk and 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese, pour mixture over the whole baking dish, bake for 45 mins and top with more cheese, bake 15 more mins and serve.

    SHEET PAN EGGS!

    Exactly what it sounds like-- a sheet pan, crack eggs all over, salt and pepper and whatever you wanna season it with. Oven at 425 for 7-15 minutes depending on how well you like them. If you're meal prepping, you can undercook them a little so when you re-heat them they don't get rubbery or the yolks don't get dry.

    Tried something new. I had some leftovers that I wanted to scramble in some eggs. I opened the cupboard to grab some red pepper flakes and saw a tube of Wasabi. Thought "What the heck?" I added about 1/2 a teaspoon of the ready made Wasabi paste. Who would've thought? Added a great taste. I put it in my scrambled eggs every time now.

    Sweet potato hash and eggs. Dice a sweet potato and boil. Saute with whatever veggies you like ( I usually use some combo of zucchini, mushrooms, sweet and hot peppers, onion, and spinach). Season how you like. I like smoked paprika, salt and pepper. Top with two fried eggs.

    I also love to make Shakshuka and clean-out-the-fridge omelets or frittatas when I am in a pinch.

    My favorite egg dish: Philly cheese Egg 'fritatta':
    saute onions, peppers, mushrooms. Add in some precooked lean steak bits. Scramble egg with a bit of garlic, parsley, chive, and pour over the vegies and lean meat. A sprinkle of low cal parm/mozarella blend.
    So yummy and less calories than so many breakfast foods. Swap in/out other veggies and herbs. ♡♡

    I'm a sucker for pre-prepared ingredients, so my favorite is a super easy stovetop fritatta. In a non-stick skillet, sautee 1/4 cup frozen diced onion and 1/2 tsp minced garlic (packed in oil). Throw in halved cherry tomatoes, mushrooms, last night's leftover asparagus, etc. Add 2-3 cups raw baby spinach and a pinch of salt. Cook just until spinach is wilted and a bright, deep green. Beat 2 eggs with Italian seasoning (or fresh chopped basil, oregano) and pour over spinach/veggie mix. When the edges start to firm, reduce heat to medium-low and cover. Cook until top of eggs are set. Remove from heat, add some shredded sharp cheddar, recover, let sit until cheese is melted.

    I like to eat half, paired with half a whole wheat English muffin topped with whipped fat free Greek yogurt/cream cheese spread, and whatever fruit is handy - banana, strawberries, cantaloupe, or watermelon. The other half is either a quick dinner reheat or breakfast to go the next morning.

    Simple, I use 3 egg whites and one yolk. (for flavor). I do scrambled, folded for omelette, etc with a Penzey's spice called Sunny Paris, (the best!), pepper, maybe a teeny bit of parmesan cheese, and then add tomatoes, spinach, cheese or any other veggie sides. Or not and just eggs. But they have to have Sunny Paris in them with wonderful flavor.
