Asparagus Scramble Brunch Eggs


Looking for something a bit different for Sunday breakfast? Treat yourself and your family to a healthy low carb asparagus scramble! It's an ideal solution to leftover veggies!

Excellent accompanied by Kimkins Savory Chicken Sausage or Canadian bacon and hot cinnamon coffee.

Ingredients (serves 4)
  • 5 eggs
  • 3 egg whites (if you prefer a lower fat version)
  • 8 cooked asparagus spears, sliced diagonally
  • 8 cherry tomatoes, cut in half
  • 2 oz low fat goat cheese (or shredded sharp cheddar)
  • 1 Tbsp chives or green onion, chopped
Beat together eggs and egg whites, add pepper. Over medium heat spray nonstick skillet with cooking spray. Pour in egg mixture and stir constantly. Eggs cook quickly.

When eggs are almost cooked through, add asparagus and tomato. Stir together and transfer to heated serving plates. Sprinkle with goat cheese or cheddar and chives. Serve and enjoy!

Note: If using all whole eggs (not whites) calories and fat counts rise substantially.
