Making Slow-Carb Scrambled Eggs

July 9, 2013

Slow-Carb Scrambled Eggs, Greens and SausageThis quick and delicious slow-carb breakfast will get your day started off on the right foot and provide hours of steady energy.

I often make this or a similar variation for our breakfast. I try to eat 30 minutes - 1 hour after I wake up. It yields for 2 people, but I take a larger portion so my wife gets about 2 eggs and I get 3.

Source: I originally read about the slow carb diet in Tim Ferriss' book, The 4 Hour Body. It has a great deal of information on fitness, injury rehabilitation, diet and more. His other two books are also very interesting. Here is a link to his website if you want more information.

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups spinach, chard, arugula mix (any greens will do)
  • 5 eggs
  • 4 turkey breakfast sausage links
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1 Tbsp minced garlic
  • 1 Tbsp grapeseed oil
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp almond milk
  • 2 pinch ground black pepper
  • 2 pinch kosher salt

I use almond milk to keep this dairy free but keep the eggs creamy. You could add any type of milk or cream, or just leave it out.

Steps:

  1. Add half of the grapeseed oil to warm sauté pan. Sauté onions and garlic.

  3. Pour the rest of grapeseed oil into non-stick pan and add turkey sausage. I cut up my links into bite sized pieces so they mix with the scramble easier.

  9. Add eggs to sausage pan and fold greens over again. The moisture from the greens will start to deglaze the pan now.

  11. Scramble eggs in with sausage. Now is a great time to add salt, pepper and other spices you might prefer.

We often add more spiced or hot sauces like sriracha to give it extra flavor but the onions and garlic do a good job on their own.

My wife and I had been following the Slow-Carb diet for quite some time now. It's not for everyone but has been effective and surprisingly enjoyable. If you have any questions about the Slow-Carb Diet, feel free to ask them in the comments section below.
