Keto Mexican scrambled eggs with Parmesan cheese is a delicious and low-carb breakfast option that combines the vibrant flavors of Mexico with the creamy texture of scrambled eggs. This dish is perfect for anyone following a ketogenic diet or simply looking for a nutritious and flavorful meal to start their day. By using fresh ingredients such as jalapeno pepper, tomatoes, and onions, and enhancing the taste with Parmesan cheese, you can elevate a simple scrambled eggs recipe to a whole new level.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Finely chop the onion and jalapeño pepper. Ensure the seeds are removed from the jalapeño if you prefer less heat.
- Dice the tomato.
- Crack the 2 eggs into a medium-sized bowl, add a pinch of salt and the black pepper, and beat them lightly until the yolks and whites are combined.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the tablespoon of butter.
- Once the butter has melted and is slightly bubbling, add the chopped onion and jalapeño. Sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until the onion becomes translucent and the jalapeño is tender.
- Add the diced tomato to the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes are slightly softened.
- Pour the beaten eggs into the skillet with the vegetables. Allow the eggs to set slightly before stirring.
- Using a spatula, gently stir and fold the eggs, making sure to incorporate the vegetables evenly.
- Continue to cook the eggs to your desired doneness. For soft and creamy scrambled eggs, cook for about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently. For firmer eggs, cook a bit longer.
- When the eggs are almost done but still slightly runny, sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the eggs.
- Stir gently to combine the cheese into the eggs, allowing it to melt. This should take about another minute.
- Taste the scrambled eggs and add more salt and pepper if needed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs to a serving plate.
- Optionally, garnish with additional toppings like chopped fresh cilantro or a few slices of avocado.
- Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Mexican scrambled eggs with Parmesan cheese hot from the skillet!
Tips:
- For a less spicy version, remove the seeds from the jalapeno pepper before chopping.
- You can add other vegetables such as bell peppers or spinach to increase the nutritional content.
- Use a non-stick skillet for easier cooking and cleaning.
- Cook the vegetables until they are soft and fragrant before adding the eggs for better flavor integration.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese if you don't have Parmesan on hand.
- Serve the scrambled eggs with a side of guacamole or fresh salsa for an extra touch of Mexican flair.
