Spring Scrambled Eggs

*Atkins Induction-friendly

What you will need:

*2 Tbsp Extra Virgin Olive Oil
*1/4 cup of Egg Beaters (or as much as you'd like!)
*1/3 Red Bell Pepper
> if you dislike red bell peppers, you can use tomatoes as a substitute!
*2 Tsp of Fresh Spinach*Kosher Salt/Regular Salt
*1 Tsp Fresh Parmesan, or any cheese you prefer!

Begin by prepping your small sized skillet over medium heat, and adding the EVOO.While that is heating up, dice up the red bell peppers (or tomatoes!), and set them aside.Grab your spinach together, and cut them into strips. Add the diced peppers/tomatoes into the skillet and let them sit for about 2 mins and stir. Next, add the spinach strips and stir for another minute. Once the spinach turns darker, add the Egg Beaters and gently stir. (Careful not to over stir, as you want chunks of eggs, not crumbs!) Once the eggs start to get near done. Add a dash of kosher salt, or regular salt. Give it a couple of more stirs to evenly distribute the salt. Transfer the eggs to your plate, and add parmesan cheese, or cheese of your choice. Finally, take a spinach leaf from your spinach mix and place it over your eggs to give it that spring-y look! Enjoy!

If you're like me, there's nothing more you'd prefer in the AM than a quick, tasty, and satisfying meal before heading out to the gym. I usually opt for a quick scrambled egg sprinkled with fresh parmesan cheese; but today, I decided I'd switch it up a bit...

Here's what you will need for these simple, yet delicious Breakfast Flowers:

*2 Tablespoons of Extra Virgin Olive Oil (or any cooking oil you'd like)
*2 Tablespoons of left-over bacon grease (if available!)
*2 rings cut 1/3" of a Red Bell Pepper, (or any color/as many rings as you would like)
*2 Eggs
*Kosher salt (or regular salt)
*Black Pepper
*1/4 Teaspoon of Chives
*2 Tablespoons of Cheddar cheese, or any cheese you'd like!

Begin by prepping your left-over bacon grease, if you keep any in your refrigerator, by placing it in a small sauce pan over medium heat. While your bacon grease is heating up, put the EVOO/cooking oil into a medium skillet. Rinse your bell pepper, pat it dry, and cut it in 1/3". Once the EVOO has heated up on the medium skillet, place the two bell pepper rings in it and let them cook for about 3 minutes, then flip them over. Next, proceed to cracking your eggs into each ring carefully. If your egg whites start to run from underneath the pepper rings, no worries, simply press down on the rings with a spatula, for a few seconds. While the eggs are still cooking, sprinkle a dash of Kosher salt, or regular salt, and pepper onto the top. After adding the salt and pepper, brush some of the hot bacon grease over the egg while it is still raw, to help cook the top part of the egg and give it that extra flavor. To aid the top of the egg cook faster, and to keep it from over cooking on the bottom, place a lid over the skillet, or simply cover it with aluminum foil for about a minute or 2. Once the top of the egg has finished cooking, sprinkle the chives over it. Transfer your yummy breakfast flowers onto a plate, and add a tablespoon of cheddar on each. Finally, enjoy!

*Tip: if the egg whites run from underneath the pepper rings, simply cut them off with a spoon and place them back in the ring, or dispose of them. It's up to you! :)
