Keto Breakfast with Microgreens

If you’re following a ketogenic diet, you know that about 75-80% of your calories should come from fat, about 20% from protein and then ultra-low carbohydrates.  Additionally, recent studies support the idea the egg consumption to get one’s protein aids in weight loss more than other forms of protein.  Given that, I thought I would share with you a ketogenic breakfast that I thoroughly enjoy.

First I start with generous amount of Kerrigold grass-fed butter (actually it is the cows that are fed grass; the butter isn’t fed anything) to saute some of our nutritious and delicious broccoli microgreens.  Pound for pound, broccoli microgreens are shown to have 4-6 times the nutritional content as the same weight of full grown broccoli !!

Next I take two farm fresh eggs and scramble them up with a touch of water.  I add small bits of cream cheese and then pour that into the hot pan with the saute’d broccoli micros.  A little bit of salt; a little bit of pepper.  Cook the scrambled eggs as normal.  When they are nearly complete I lay out strips of cheddar cheese to melt on top.  Plate it, a few sprinkles of your favorite hot sauce and topped with radish microgreens, and you are ready for a keto-friendly healthy breakfast.  ENJOY !!
