Tasty spinach and eggs scramble makes a wonderful keto breakfast. With lots of fresh spinach, onions, and Parmesan, it’s incredibly flavorful!
Scrambled eggs with spinach may not look like much, but they are delicious. I’ve been making this recipe regularly for over a year now.
But I was reluctant to include it here because while egg scrambles are tasty, they are not very photogenic!
Today I just decided to go ahead and publish it. It’s so good, I don’t want you guys to miss out.
I first tried a veggie scramble at Carla’s Country Kitchen in Morro Bay, California:
I loved the ratio of veggies to eggs. And when I returned home, I decided to use spinach, simply because that’s what I had in the fridge.
This dish is so delicious, I’ve been making it regularly ever since. And just like in the restaurant version, I love the generous ratio of veggies to eggs.
The ingredients you’ll need
You’ll only need a few simple ingredients to make this tasty keto breakfast. The exact measurements are included in the recipe card below. Here’s an overview of what you’ll need:
- Olive oil
- Sliced onion
- Kosher salt and black pepper
- Eggs
- Grated Parmesan
- Fresh baby spinach leaves
- Red pepper flakes
How to make spinach and eggs Scramble
It’s so easy! Scroll down to the recipe card and video for the detailed instructions. Here are the basic steps:
- Whisk the eggs with salt, pepper, and Parmesan.
- Brown sliced onions in olive oil.
- Add fresh spinach leaves and lightly cook them, just until slightly wilted.
- Add the eggs and scramble until done to your liking.
Should I chop the spinach leaves?
I don’t, as long as I use small baby spinach leaves. If your leaves are very large, it’s a good idea to give them a quick chop.
How to serve spinach and eggs
As you can see in the photos, the restaurant served this dish with sausage links. At home, I serve it with sliced tomatoes. Sometimes I add oven bacon and/or keto biscuits.
Is this a healthy recipe?
I believe it is. Unless you have a specific condition that requires you to limit saturated fat, eggs are very nutritious, and so is spinach. And I cook the eggs in healthy olive oil. So this filling keto breakfast is a great way to start your day!
