Keto low carb breakfast idea
Salmon and Eggs Breakfast Bliss
If you’re on a low carb / keto journey, breakfast is a golden opportunity to fuel your day with a delicious, low-carb meal that’s high in healthy fats and protein. Today, I’m sharing a quick and nutritious recipe that combines eggs, salmon, and vibrant veggies into a satisfying breakfast bowl—all for around 500 calories.
- 2 large eggs
- 2 oz smoked salmon
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup diced bell peppers
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1 tbsp cream cheese
- sprinkle of fresh dill or parsley for garnish
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach and bell peppers, sautéing until the spinach wilts and the peppers are slightly tender (about 2-3 minutes). Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Push the veggies to one side of the skillet and crack the eggs into the other side. Scramble them gently or cook them sunny-side up based on your preference. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Transfer the cooked eggs and veggies to a serving bowl or plate. Layer the smoked salmon slices on top.
Dollop the cream cheese on the side or spread it over the salmon for a rich, creamy texture.
Sprinkle fresh dill or parsley over the dish for an added burst of flavor. Enjoy immediately!
