22 High Protein Scrambled Eggs Recipes Ready in Just 10 Minutes

Scrambled eggs are one of the fastest high protein meals you can make on a busy morning. These 22 recipes turn a simple eggs recipe into something genuinely exciting, from cheesy loaded skillets to veggie packed bowls that keep you full for hours. Each one comes together in 10 minutes or less. Whether you are cooking for one or feeding the whole family, there is something here that fits your morning. I’ve noticed that the right additions make scrambled eggs feel like a completely different meal every single day.

1. Classic Butter Scramble

This is the scrambled egg recipe every home cook should have memorized. Rich butter coats each soft curd and gives the eggs a golden color and a silky finish that feels indulgent without being heavy. It takes five minutes and almost no cleanup. This is the version people make when they want something comforting and fast on a weekday morning.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon fresh chives, chopped

Instructions:

1. Crack the eggs into a bowl. Add milk, and whisk vigorously for 30 seconds until fully combined and slightly frothy.
2. Place a nonstick skillet over medium low heat. Add the butter and let it melt completely without browning.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let it sit for 10 seconds before stirring.
4. Using a silicone spatula, push the eggs gently from the edges toward the center in slow, wide strokes.
5. Continue folding the eggs every few seconds. When they look about 80 percent set and still glossy, remove the pan from heat.
6. Let residual heat finish cooking for 30 seconds. Season with salt and pepper.
7. Transfer to a bowl and top with fresh chives. Serve immediately.

2. Scrambled Eggs with Cheese

Scrambled eggs with cheese are a universal favorite for good reason. Melted cheddar weaves between every soft curd and creates those satisfying cheese pulls that make this version impossible to resist. It adds a layer of richness and a sharp, savory flavor that plain eggs simply cannot match. This is the go to breakfast when you want something filling and genuinely delicious.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded sharp cheddar cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons whole milk
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Whisk eggs and milk together in a bowl until smooth and uniform in color.
2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium low heat.
3. Pour in the egg mixture and let it begin to set around the edges before stirring.
4. Fold gently with a spatula, keeping the curds large and soft.
5. When eggs are about halfway cooked, scatter the shredded cheddar evenly across the top.
6. Continue folding until the cheese melts into the eggs and everything is just set.
7. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Serve immediately on a warm plate.

3. Cottage Cheese Scramble

Adding cottage cheese to scrambled eggs sounds unusual but the result is extraordinary. The cottage cheese melts into the eggs during cooking and creates a creamy, almost cloud like texture that regular scrambled eggs cannot replicate. The protein content jumps significantly and the flavor stays mild and clean. This version has become a staple in high protein breakfast routines everywhere.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/4 cup full fat cottage cheese
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh basil for garnish

Instructions:

1. Crack eggs into a bowl, add cottage cheese, and whisk together until mostly smooth with small white flecks remaining.
2. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium low heat.
3. Pour the egg and cottage cheese mixture into the pan.
4. Let it sit for 15 seconds then begin folding slowly from the edges inward.
5. Continue stirring gently until the eggs are creamy and just set, about 3 to 4 minutes.
6. Remove from heat and top with cherry tomatoes.
7. Season well and garnish with fresh basil. Serve warm.

In my experience, using full fat cottage cheese rather than low fat gives you a much creamier result. The extra fat content blends smoothly into the eggs and you never notice the difference in texture.

4. Smoked Salmon Scramble

This recipe takes scrambled eggs into brunch territory without any extra effort. Silky smoked salmon pairs naturally with soft eggs and the cream cheese adds a cool, tangy contrast that makes every bite feel layered and satisfying. The capers and dill bring brightness that cuts through the richness. It looks impressive on the plate but comes together in under eight minutes.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 2 oz smoked salmon, torn into pieces
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 tablespoon capers
• Fresh dill for garnish
• Black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Whisk eggs in a bowl with a pinch of black pepper. Do not add salt as the salmon is already salty.
2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over low heat.
3. Add eggs and cook slowly, folding gently every 30 seconds.
4. When eggs are about three quarters set, remove from heat and fold in the cream cheese.
5. Let residual heat melt the cream cheese into soft pockets throughout the eggs.
6. Plate the eggs and lay smoked salmon pieces across the top.
7. Finish with capers and fresh dill. Serve immediately.

5. Spicy Turkey Sausage Scramble

This scramble means serious business on mornings when you need fuel that lasts. Crumbled turkey sausage adds a savory, slightly spicy depth to every bite and the bell peppers bring sweetness and crunch that balances the heat. Everything cooks in one pan which means minimal cleanup. This is the version that keeps you satisfied well past noon.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 3 oz turkey sausage, casings removed
• 1/2 green bell pepper, diced
• 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey sausage and break it apart with a spatula.
2. Cook the sausage for 3 to 4 minutes until browned and cooked through.
3. Add the diced bell pepper and red pepper flakes. Cook for 1 more minute until slightly softened.
4. Whisk eggs in a bowl, then pour over the sausage and pepper mixture.
5. Reduce heat to medium low and fold the eggs into the sausage slowly.
6. Continue cooking and folding until eggs are just set and no raw egg remains.
7. Season with salt and pepper. Top with fresh parsley and serve directly from the pan.

6. Greek Yogurt Scramble

Stirring a spoonful of Greek yogurt into your eggs before cooking creates a texture that is noticeably fluffier and creamier than standard scrambled eggs. The yogurt adds a slight tang and a protein boost that makes this version particularly satisfying. It might sound like an unusual swap but once you try it, it becomes hard to go back to the regular method.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons plain full fat Greek yogurt
• 1 teaspoon butter
• 1/2 teaspoon everything bagel seasoning
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Cucumber slices for serving

Instructions:

1. Whisk eggs and Greek yogurt together in a bowl until smooth and creamy with no white streaks remaining.
2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium low heat.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the pan and let it sit without touching for 20 seconds.
4. Begin folding slowly with a spatula from the outside edges toward the center.
5. Continue folding every 20 to 30 seconds, keeping the curds large and pillowy.
6. Remove from heat when the eggs are just set and still look slightly glossy.
7. Transfer to a bowl, sprinkle with everything bagel seasoning, and serve with cucumber slices.

7. Avocado Scramble

This recipe puts two breakfast staples together in a way that genuinely makes sense. The cool, buttery avocado slices contrast beautifully with the warm, soft eggs underneath. A squeeze of lemon brightens the whole plate and a pinch of chili flakes adds just enough heat. This is the kind of breakfast that feels like a treat even on a Tuesday.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 ripe avocado, sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Juice of half a lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon chili flakes
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 2 slices of toast for serving

Instructions:

1. Toast bread to your desired level of crispness and set aside.
2. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl.
3. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium low heat.
4. Pour in the eggs and cook slowly, folding gently until just set and creamy.
5. While the eggs rest off heat, slice the avocado and squeeze lemon juice over the slices to prevent browning.
6. Spoon scrambled eggs onto toast.
7. Layer avocado slices on top, sprinkle with chili flakes, and finish with an extra pinch of salt.

I’ve noticed that letting the eggs sit off heat for about 30 seconds before plating makes them noticeably creamier. That brief resting moment allows the curds to relax and finish setting without becoming rubbery.

8. Spinach Feta Scramble

Spinach and feta are a classic combination for good reason and they work beautifully folded into soft scrambled eggs. The feta brings a salty, tangy punch and the spinach adds color, iron, and a mild earthiness that balances the richness of the eggs. This is one of those breakfasts that feels healthy and indulgent at the same time.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup fresh baby spinach
• 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Pinch of dried oregano

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat.
2. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned.
3. Add baby spinach and toss until wilted, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium low.
4. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour over the spinach.
5. Fold gently with a spatula, pulling the eggs from the edges toward the center.
6. When eggs are about halfway set, scatter feta across the top.
7. Continue folding until eggs are just set. Sprinkle with oregano and serve immediately.

9. Mushroom Herb Scramble

Sauteed mushrooms bring a deep, earthy umami flavor to scrambled eggs that makes this recipe feel far more complex than the effort involved. The mushrooms release their liquid first and then caramelize slightly, concentrating their savory flavor before the eggs even enter the pan. Fresh herbs at the end add a burst of brightness. This is a breakfast that satisfies in a quiet, substantial way.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1 garlic clove, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Add mushroom slices in a single layer.
2. Cook without stirring for 2 minutes until the mushrooms begin to brown on one side.
3. Stir and cook for 1 more minute. Add garlic and thyme and cook for 30 seconds.
4. Reduce heat to medium low. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper in a bowl.
5. Pour eggs directly over the mushrooms.
6. Fold slowly with a spatula, incorporating the mushrooms into the soft egg curds.
7. Remove from heat when just set. Top with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

10. Black Bean Scramble

Black beans and scrambled eggs might be the most underrated high protein breakfast combination there is. The beans add a hearty, filling texture and a mild earthiness that pairs naturally with soft eggs. Fresh salsa brings acid and heat and the sour cream cools everything down. This bowl keeps you full for hours and comes together in just about eight minutes flat.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup canned black beans, drained and rinsed
• 3 tablespoons fresh salsa
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons diced white onion
• Salt and cumin to taste
• 1 tablespoon sour cream and fresh cilantro for topping

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add diced onion and cook for 2 minutes until translucent.
2. Add black beans and a pinch of cumin. Stir and cook for 1 minute until heated through.
3. Whisk eggs with salt in a bowl and pour over the bean mixture.
4. Reduce heat to medium low. Fold slowly with a spatula until eggs are creamy and just set.
5. Remove from heat and spoon fresh salsa across the top.
6. Add a dollop of sour cream.
7. Garnish with torn cilantro leaves and serve warm.

11. Sun Dried Tomato Scramble

Sun dried tomatoes pack an intensely concentrated sweetness and tang that transforms a basic scrambled egg recipe into something almost Mediterranean in feel. They soften slightly during cooking and release their oil into the eggs creating a richly flavored base. Fresh basil at the end makes the whole plate aromatic and bright. This one is a favorite for slow weekend mornings.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons sun dried tomatoes in oil, chopped
• 1 tablespoon olive oil from the sun dried tomato jar
• 1/4 cup shredded mozzarella
• Fresh basil leaves
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat the sun dried tomato oil in a nonstick pan over medium low heat.
2. Add chopped sun dried tomatoes and stir for 30 seconds to warm through and release flavor.
3. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper and pour into the pan.
4. Fold slowly with a spatula, keeping the curds soft and large.
5. When eggs are about halfway set, scatter mozzarella over the top.
6. Continue folding until cheese melts and eggs are just cooked through.
7. Remove from heat, plate, and top generously with fresh basil leaves and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

In my experience, using the oil from the sun dried tomato jar rather than plain olive oil makes a genuinely noticeable difference in flavor. That infused oil carries all the sweetness and depth of the tomatoes straight into the eggs.

12. Shredded Chicken Scramble

This scramble is built for days when you need serious fuel without any fuss. Leftover shredded chicken folds effortlessly into soft eggs and makes this one of the highest protein breakfasts you can make in ten minutes. Smoked paprika ties everything together with a warm, slightly smoky flavor that makes the whole bowl taste more complex than it actually is.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup cooked shredded chicken
• 1/2 red bell pepper, diced small
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Hot sauce for serving

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
2. Add diced red pepper and cook for 2 minutes until slightly softened.
3. Add shredded chicken and smoked paprika. Toss to coat and heat through for 1 minute.
4. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the pan over the chicken mixture.
5. Reduce heat to medium low and fold the eggs in slowly with a spatula.
6. Continue folding until eggs are just set with no raw egg visible.
7. Plate and serve with hot sauce on the side.

13. Loaded Veggie Scramble

This scramble is the answer to that moment when your fridge holds a handful of vegetables and you need to use them before they turn. Every vegetable that works in a saute works beautifully here and the goat cheese adds a creamy, tangy finish that pulls all the flavors together. This is a filling, colorful bowl that takes almost no planning.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 small zucchini, diced
• 1/4 red onion, diced
• 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 3 tablespoons frozen corn, thawed
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 2 tablespoons crumbled goat cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add red onion and cook for 2 minutes until soft.
2. Add zucchini and corn. Cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
3. Add cherry tomatoes and cook for 1 minute until they begin to soften.
4. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the pan over the vegetables.
5. Reduce heat to medium low and fold everything together slowly.
6. Cook until eggs are just set and creamy, about 2 to 3 minutes.
7. Remove from heat, crumble goat cheese over the top, and serve immediately.

14. Pesto Parmesan Scramble

Stirring pesto into scrambled eggs is one of those small moves that produces a completely outsized result. The basil, garlic, and pine nut richness of the pesto coats every soft curd and shaved parmesan on top adds a salty, nutty finish. This version takes less than eight minutes and tastes like something you would order at a good brunch spot.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1.5 tablespoons prepared basil pesto
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons shaved parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• Fresh basil leaf for garnish

Instructions:

1. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl.
2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium low heat.
3. Pour eggs into the pan and let them sit for 10 seconds before stirring.
4. Begin folding slowly from the edges inward, keeping the curds large.
5. When eggs are about halfway set, spoon pesto across them.
6. Fold gently twice to swirl the pesto through the eggs without fully mixing it in.
7. Remove from heat, plate, and top with shaved parmesan and a fresh basil leaf.

15. Cheddar Bacon Scramble

Bacon and cheddar folded into scrambled eggs is a combination that has stood the test of time for very good reason. The salty, smoky crunch of the bacon plays against the stretchy melted cheddar and soft creamy eggs in a way that feels endlessly satisfying. Cook the bacon in the same pan and you get all that rendered fat working in your favor.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 3 strips bacon
• 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar
• Salt and black pepper to taste
• 1 tablespoon fresh chives for garnish

Instructions:

1. Cook bacon strips in a skillet over medium heat until crispy, about 4 minutes per side.
2. Transfer bacon to a paper towel. Pour off most of the rendered fat, leaving about 1 teaspoon in the pan.
3. Crumble the bacon into small pieces once cool enough to handle.
4. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the pan with remaining bacon fat over medium low heat.
5. Fold slowly from the edges inward, keeping curds large and soft.
6. When eggs are halfway set, add shredded cheddar and crumbled bacon.
7. Fold once more, remove from heat when just set, and garnish with chives.

I’ve noticed that leaving a small amount of bacon fat in the pan rather than wiping it clean completely adds a smokiness to the eggs that butter or oil simply cannot replicate.

16. Jalapeño Cheddar Scramble

These scrambled eggs bring the heat in the best possible way. Fresh jalapeño slices cook briefly in butter before the eggs arrive and their sharp, bright spiciness infuses the whole dish. Sharp cheddar melts into the curds and the cool sour cream on top creates a contrast that makes every bite interesting. This one is for people who like a morning with some fire in it.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 fresh jalapeño, thinly sliced
• 1/3 cup shredded sharp cheddar
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• Salt to taste
• Lime wedge for serving

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add jalapeño slices and cook for 1 minute until they soften slightly and become fragrant.
2. Reduce heat to medium low. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pour into the pan.
3. Fold slowly with a spatula, distributing the jalapeños through the eggs.
4. When eggs are about halfway set, add shredded cheddar across the top.
5. Fold once or twice more until cheese is melted and eggs are just set.
6. Remove from heat and plate. Add a dollop of sour cream on top.
7. Serve with a wedge of lime for squeezing over the top.

17. Tuna Scramble

Canned tuna might be the most convenient high protein ingredient you can keep in your pantry and it works surprisingly well folded into scrambled eggs. The flaked tuna adds a mild oceanic flavor and a firm texture that contrasts with the soft egg curds. Lemon oil and fresh parsley keep it light and bright. This recipe is practical, fast, and filling in equal measure.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1 can (5 oz) light tuna in water, drained
• 2 tablespoons diced green onion
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
• Juice of half a lemon
• Salt and black pepper to taste

2. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium heat. Add green onion and cook for 1 minute.
3. Add the flaked tuna and cook for 30 seconds, stirring to warm through.
4. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Pour over the tuna mixture and reduce heat to medium low.
5. Fold gently with a spatula until eggs are just set and still creamy.
6. Squeeze lemon juice over the top and remove from heat.
7. Plate and finish with fresh parsley and an extra crack of black pepper.

18. Hummus Scramble

Swirling hummus into scrambled eggs creates a breakfast that feels like it belongs on a Middle Eastern table in the very best way. The hummus adds a nutty, earthy richness and a creamy texture that takes these eggs somewhere completely different from the standard recipe. Za’atar on top is aromatic and herby and the olives give a briny bite that ties the whole bowl together.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons plain hummus
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 teaspoon za’atar spice blend
• 5 kalamata olives, halved
• Red pepper sauce or harissa for drizzling

1. Whisk eggs with a small pinch of salt in a bowl.
2. Heat olive oil in a nonstick pan over medium low heat.
3. Pour in the eggs and fold gently every 20 to 30 seconds as they begin to set.
4. When the eggs are about three quarters done, remove the pan from heat.
5. Spoon hummus across the warm eggs and fold once to swirl it through without fully mixing.
6. Plate immediately and top with za’atar and kalamata olive halves.
7. Drizzle a small amount of red pepper sauce or harissa across the top and serve warm.

19. Caprese Scramble

Everything that makes a caprese salad irresistible translates effortlessly onto a plate of scrambled eggs. Fresh mozzarella melts gently against the warm eggs, cherry tomatoes add sweetness and a slight pop, and the balsamic glaze brings a sticky, tangy finish that ties every element together. This is a breakfast that looks like it took effort and tastes like it too.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1/2 cup fresh mozzarella, torn into pieces
• 6 cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 tablespoon butter
• Fresh basil leaves
• 1 tablespoon balsamic glaze
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

2. Whisk eggs with salt and pepper. Pour into the pan.
3. Fold gently from the edges toward the center, keeping curds large and soft.
4. When eggs are about halfway set, scatter torn mozzarella pieces across the top.
5. Add cherry tomato halves across the eggs.
6. Continue folding gently until mozzarella starts to melt and eggs are just set.
7. Plate and top with fresh basil leaves and a drizzle of balsamic glaze.

20. Lox Cream Cheese Scramble

This recipe takes the classic lox and cream cheese bagel combination and turns it into a warm, protein rich scramble that feels indulgent without requiring any real technique. The cream cheese melts slightly against the warm eggs and the lox adds a silky, salty layer on top. Red onion and capers bring the sharpness that balances everything out. Serve it on a toasted bagel half for the full experience.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 2 oz lox or cold smoked salmon
• 3 tablespoons cream cheese, softened
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 2 tablespoons thinly sliced red onion
• 1 tablespoon capers
• Black pepper and fresh dill to taste

Instructions:

1. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over low heat.
2. Whisk eggs with a pinch of black pepper only. The lox adds enough salt.
3. Pour eggs into the pan and fold very slowly over low heat to keep them soft.
4. When eggs are almost done, remove from heat and add cream cheese in small spoonfuls.
5. Fold once gently to partially melt the cream cheese through the eggs.
6. Plate and layer lox on top, followed by sliced red onion and capers.
7. Finish with fresh dill and serve with a toasted bagel half on the side.

In my experience, keeping the heat as low as possible for this recipe is worth the extra two minutes. The eggs stay almost custardy in texture and the cream cheese creates gorgeous pockets of richness throughout rather than melting away entirely.

21. Chorizo Scramble

Chorizo releases a deeply spiced, paprika rich oil as it cooks and that oil becomes the cooking fat for your eggs, staining them a vivid orange and infusing every bite with warmth and flavor. Diced potato adds substance and makes this scramble genuinely filling. This is a one pan breakfast with enormous flavor payoff for very little effort.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 2 oz Spanish chorizo, diced small
• 1/2 cup cooked diced potato
• 1/4 white onion, diced
• Fresh flat leaf parsley, chopped
• Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Add diced chorizo to a cold skillet. Turn heat to medium and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the chorizo releases its red oil and begins to crisp at the edges.
2. Add diced onion and cook in the chorizo oil for 1 minute.
3. Add cooked diced potato and toss to coat in the oil. Cook for 1 to 2 minutes until heated through.
4. Whisk eggs with a pinch of salt and pepper. Pour into the pan over the chorizo mixture.
5. Reduce heat to medium low and fold slowly until eggs are just set.
6. The eggs will take on a warm orange color from the chorizo oil.
7. Remove from heat, top with fresh parsley, and serve directly from the skillet.

22. Everything Bagel Scramble

Everything bagel seasoning on scrambled eggs is one of those simple ideas that instantly becomes a habit. The blend of sesame, poppy seeds, dried garlic, and dried onion adds crunch, depth, and a savory complexity that transforms plain eggs into something craveable. Cream cheese dollops melt slightly against the warm eggs and cucumber slices add a cool, clean contrast. This bowl tastes like a bagel shop in the best possible way.

Ingredients:

• 3 large eggs
• 1.5 teaspoons everything bagel seasoning
• 2 tablespoons cream cheese, in small spoonfuls
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/4 cucumber, thinly sliced
• Salt to taste (use sparingly as the seasoning is salty)

Instructions:

1. Whisk eggs with a very small pinch of salt. The everything bagel seasoning will add significant salt so go light here.
2. Melt butter in a nonstick pan over medium low heat.
3. Pour in the eggs and fold gently every 20 seconds, keeping curds large.
4. When eggs are almost set, remove from heat and place small spoonfuls of cream cheese across the top.
5. Let residual heat soften the cream cheese for about 30 seconds.
6. Transfer to a bowl and sprinkle everything bagel seasoning generously over the top.
7. Add cucumber slices on the side and serve immediately while warm.
