Recipe Name: Sweet Keto Egg Delight
Ingredients:
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon erythritol (or your preferred keto-friendly sweetener)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- A pinch of cinnamon (optional)

-
Preparation:
- Crack the eggs into a small mixing bowl. Beat them gently with a fork or whisk until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add the erythritol, vanilla extract, and a pinch of cinnamon to the eggs. Mix well to ensure the sweetener is dissolved.
-
Cooking Process:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat. Add the butter and allow it to melt, swirling the pan to coat the surface evenly.
- Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Let it sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, pulling the cooked edges towards the center. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from heat immediately to avoid overcooking.
-
Adaptations:
- High Altitude: Increase the cooking time slightly as eggs may take longer to set.
- Cold Weather: Ensure your eggs are at room temperature before starting to promote even cooking.
- Survival Mode: Use a portable burner or campfire setup with a small pan.
- Plating & Presentation:
- Serve the scrambled eggs on a small plate. For a touch of British tradition, consider placing them on a slice of keto-friendly almond flour bread.
- Garnish with fresh berries for a pop of color and additional sweetness, aligning with the British tradition of incorporating fresh fruit.
Tips & Notes:
- Substitutions: For a nutty flavor, add a sprinkle of slivered almonds or chopped pecans.
- Storage & Reheating: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a non-stick skillet over low heat.
- Expert Tips: To enhance the sweetness naturally, consider adding a small amount of grated lemon zest to the egg mixture.
