Keto Scrambled Eggs – A Love Rekindled!
Not everybody gets excited about scrambled eggs. They’re unfortunately considered the lazy man’s breakfast- they’re easy and quick to make. When cooked improperly, you’re left with dry, spongy bits of curdled egg. But, when cooked slowly using Gordon Ramsay’s technique, you get creamy and evenly cooked, perfect scrambled eggs that are moist and full of flavor. Dry eggs can be underwhelming, but scrambled eggs don’t have to be that way! We’ve been using Ramsay’s method and have honestly had these perfect keto scrambled eggs for breakfast (and sometimes dinner) days in a row! They’re addicting and super versatile- you can add anything you want into the scramble and eat something different each time.
We stick to our basic recipe- eggs, green onions and spices. It’s light and simple, a perfect accompaniment to some robust and salty bacon, cooked to a crisp. Give this technique a try, you will not be disappointed and never look at scrambled eggs the same way again.
We used sour cream in this recipe to cool the eggs off to stop the cooking process and add some more moisture (again, to prevent dry spongy eggs) but if you’ve got some crème fraîche on hand, that would work better! Crème fraîche is simply sour cream with way more fat, about 30-45% butterfat. Awesome for any keto breakfast!

Eggs are also such a great keto ingredient. One egg has 6 grams of protein and 5 grams of healthy fats. They also have no carbs which means you can eat as many eggs as you please! Eggs are also full of lots of other nutrients like calcium, selenium and lots of vitamins (vitamin A, B12, D, E K….the list goes on!). If you are able to buy eggs that have extra omega-3 fatty acids, definitely grab them! These eggs come from “happy chickens” who have a balanced diet of grass and other natural feed. The result of feeding chickens well is eggs that are higher in omega 3’s. Omega-3 fatty acids have been linked to many health benefits and promote a healthier heart. Seems like a good choice!
Scrambled eggs are perfect when eaten on their own but feel free to serve them on top of keto cloud bread, next to a sweet chaffle or inside a keto wrap with some sauteed spinach. There really is no wrong way to eat scrambled eggs. While they may be considered the lazy mans breakfast, we know that they are actually a keto winners breakfast! Make eggs any day, every day and you will be starting your day off the right way! Maybe even scrambled eggs for dinner? Breakfast for dinner is always a fun switch. Enjoy!
| Servings: servings |
- 6 eggs
- 2 tbsp butter
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 stalks green onion
- 4 strips bacon
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp paprika
- Crack the eggs into a cold, ungreased pan and add the butter. Only start mixing the eggs once they're on the heat. This ensures no areas of the egg starts to cook before the others. We are saving the seasoning for after the eggs are cooked. Adding salt will only break the eggs down and create a watery finish; we want creamy!
- Place the pan on a medium-high heat and begin stirring the eggs and butter together with a silicone spatula. As the butter melts slowly, it'll give the eggs extra creaminess and will also prevent the eggs from sticking to the pan.
- While stirring the eggs, let some bacon strips cook to your desired crispiness in another pan (or bake them!).
- Alternate stirring the eggs on the heat and off the heat. If you see the eggs starting to cook in a thin, dry layer at the bottom of the pan, take it off the heat! Scrape it with your silicone spatula and that layer should integrate back with the rest of the eggs and regain some creaminess.
- Never stop stirring the eggs! Keep alternating stirring them on and off the flame. A few seconds on the flame, a few seconds off.
- The eggs should start coming together slowly. When they're almost done cooking to your liking, turn the flame off. The eggs will continue cooking a little more from the residual heat from the pan.
- Now, you can add 2 tablespoons of sour cream or crème fraîche. You can also season now! We used salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder and paprika. If you were to only use 2 spices, we recommend salt and paprika. Eggs love paprika.
- To add some contrasting flavor, add in two stalks of green onion, chopped. They work so well in scrambled eggs!
- When the eggs are cooked and seasoned and the bacon is ready, dig in!
