Step-by-Step Instructions
Ready to whip up this creamy, savory breakfast? Follow these easy steps:
Step 1: Prepare the Mushrooms
- Heat the olive oil (or butter) in a skillet over medium heat.
- Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they’re golden brown and tender.
- Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds, until fragrant. Season with salt, pepper, and thyme leaves (if using). Remove from the skillet and set aside.
Step 2: Make the Creamy Scrambled Eggs
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, heavy cream, salt, and pepper until fully combined.
- Heat a nonstick skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs in a figure-eight motion, allowing them to cook slowly and form soft, creamy curds. Avoid overcooking—remove them from the heat while they’re still slightly runny, as they’ll continue to cook from residual heat.
Step 3: Assemble the Plate
- Divide the creamy scrambled eggs between two plates.
- Top each serving with a generous portion of sautéed mushrooms.
- Add slices of ripe avocado alongside the eggs and mushrooms.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness.
Step 4: Serve and Enjoy
- Drizzle hot sauce or sprinkle red pepper flakes over the dish if you like a bit of heat.
- Serve immediately and savor the creamy, flavorful goodness of this keto-friendly breakfast!
