High-Protein Breakfast: Scrambled Eggs with a Twist
In recent years, the focus on healthy eating has become increasingly prominent, particularly around ensuring adequate protein intake. This breakfast recipe demonstrates a clever way to substantially increase the protein content of a traditional scrambled eggs breakfast, making it an ideal choice for those seeking nutritious meals during the holidays.
Ingredients
To kick off the cooking process, the following ingredients were prepared:
Five whole eggs
One cup of egg whites (note: egg whites are 90% water, giving them a different appearance)
Chopped onions
Chopped tomatoes
Two whole Habanero peppers (for those who enjoy a spicy kick)
Ham or Canadian bacon (for a leaner protein source)
Part 2/6:
Two tablespoons of oil (to grease the pan)
A handful of spinach
The selection of these ingredients not only enhances the protein content but also provides a balance of flavors and nutrients, tailored for health-conscious breakfast lovers.
Cooking Preparation
The process begins with a simple yet essential preparation: mixing the egg whites and whole eggs together in one container.
Once prepped, a wok is heated with two tablespoons of canola oil (or any preferred oil). After a few moments of warming, chopped onions and Habaneros are added, filling the kitchen with delightful aromas.
Recipe Execution
Part 3/6:
After the onions and peppers have cooked down, it's time to introduce the main components: the mixed eggs and egg whites are poured into the wok. To further enhance the dish, a generous amount of chopped spinach is stirred in. The beautiful aspect of this recipe is that it produces a meal rich in protein while keeping the entire breakfast at around 700 calories.
The nutritional breakdown reveals that this breakfast contains about 19 grams of protein. This is impressive, especially noting that egg whites contain a significant portion of the protein present in whole eggs.
In fact, out of the approximately 6 grams of protein found in a whole egg, around 4 grams comes from the egg white, making it an effective way to add volume to meals without increasing calories too much.
