Slow Cooked Scrambled Eggs
Health Fun Fact
When it comes to eggs, quality and how they’re grown is so important, both from a nutritional and a moral standpoint! Commercial eggs nowadays are from chickens that are held in small cages where they have no room to roam, and are fed extremely unhealthy corn/soy diets. The terms “cage-free” and “free-range” means slightly better conditions for the chickens, but they’re still not really free to roam around. The best kind to buy are pasture-raised eggs — pasture-raised chickens are let out in the morning and are free to roam around all day, eating grass, worms, bugs and anything else they find.
On top of living better lives, pasture raised chicken actually produce the healthiest eggs! A study has found that they contain x3 more vitamin D, x2 more omega-3s, x4 more vitamin E and x7 more beta-carotene! My favorite brand is Organick Eggs from Sprouts, but you should buy whatever pasture-raised labeled eggs that you have in your local store!
Breakfast doesn’t have to be complicated to be healthy! These simple slow cooked scrambled eggs with a side of prosciutto, olives & greens proves that eating a healthy breakfast high in protein can be super easy!
Recipe
Ingredients:
Slow-cooked organic, pasture-raised eggs cooked in virgin, cold-pressed coconut oil (or organic, grass-fed butter)
Organic prosciutto (I feel like prosciutto is given a bad rep! If you buy an organic, high quality brand, prosciutto is a great source of protein and fat)
Kalamata olives (make sure to look at the ingredients, a lot of olives are soaked in sunflower oil so stay away from those)
Arugula topped with extra virgin olive oil and organic parmesan
Instructions:
Whisk your eggs in a bowl, and heat up some coconut oil or butter in a pan. Keep the pan on medium-low heat
Add your eggs to the pan. The key to these slow-cooked eggs is that you constantly have to mix them in the pan, and keep the temperature on low
Keep mixing the eggs, and when you feel like they're almost done, turn the burner off, and mix a little more. Then move onto plate, and you’re done!
Add the prosciutto, olives, arugula & parmesan on the side, and enjoy your breakfast! 🤍
