Here are some of my favorite breakfast egg dishes that are not only low carb, but are also low fat. I usually just use some Pam (& sometimes a little V8 juice) in my skillet or omelet pan when I am cooking eggs. I've been adding veggies instead of potatoes, to keep the breakfasts low carb. Some of my favorite side veggies to eat with breakfast are: cauliflower, spinach & squash. If I do decide to add toast, it will be a whole grain type.
I think any of these meals would work as a quick meal, anytime of day. Enjoy!

| Creamy Eggs ~ This is one of our favorite
breakfasts. I take the eggs off the heat just before they get 'dry & set'. This gives them the 'creamy' taste we love, without having to add any additional fat. I have been adding veggies
instead of potatoes to keep it low carb. |

| Eggs In Purgatory (Uova in Purgatorio) with Sprouted Wheat Toast ~
From the Sopranos Family Cookbook. What a hoot of a cookbook, I just love it! I bought
it for $1 at the local library's used book sale. It was a $ well spent! I'll be
making lots more recipes from this cookbook. |
 |
| Basted Eggs & Sauteed Swiss Chard ~ This is very similar to the Eggs in Purgatory, but instead of using tomatoes, I saute chopped Swiss chard over a medium heat until it is almost done, then I add the eggs, some bacon bits, a little water (to make some steam) & then cover the pan until the eggs are done to my liking. (usually with a runny center) Super easy to make. |
 |
| Basted Eggs with Spinach ~ Just change up the veggie you are cooking the eggs in & the dish has a whole new taste. |
 |
| Classic French Omelet ~ Stuffed with sauteed
mushrooms, spinach & red bell pepper, using a bit of Pam & V8 juice in the pan. A little
tricky to roll just right, but worth the effort. |
 |
| Boiled Eggs ~ This has to be one of the most basic ways to eat eggs. I love using my egg timer for boiling eggs, it takes all the guess work out of it. Soft, medium or hard boiled? Just tell me what you want & I'll fish it out when it's ready. Gotta love that! |
