“Some inspiration may be needed after a while of wolfing down eggs on keto. I can hardly call this a ‘recipe’, as its merely an idea to make your scrambled eggs a little interesting. I made this for myself one night when Funnyman was away and I was in no mood to cook. The stir-fried spring onions bring a lovely sweetness to the scrambled eggs. They are flash-fried until bright green and partially caramelised before the eggs are added. This is a great way to pimp your scramblies – and fab served on a slice of toasted Quick Keto Chia Bread or Keto Breakfast Muffins. Be sure to also check out all the other Breakfast ideas on the site.” – Monya

More on Spring Onion Scrambled Eggs…
Eggs are naturally low in carbohydrates, making them an excellent choice for a keto diet, which restricts carb intake. They are a rich source of high-quality protein, which is crucial on a keto diet to maintain muscle mass and support overall health.

Eggs also contain healthy fats, particularly monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats, which are consistent with the principles of a keto diet. These fats help keep you satiated and provide a good source of energy. They also happen to be a top dietary source of choline, an essential nutrient important for brain health, liver function, and fat metabolism.
Eggs provide essential vitamins and minerals, such as vitamin B12, vitamin D, and selenium, which are important for various bodily functions.
Furthermore, Lutein and Zeaxanthin are antioxidants found in egg yolks can support eye health and protect against age-related eye conditions. The combination of protein and fats in eggs helps you feel full and satisfied, reducing cravings for high-carb foods.
It is important to note that to maintain ketosis, it’s essential to track carbohydrate intake and ensure it aligns with your daily macro goals. Consulting with a healthcare professional is advised before making significant dietary changes.

Spring Onion Scramblies
Per serving
Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 1 TB double cream
- salt and white pepper
- 1 tsp unsalted butter
- 2 large spring onions, (salad onions)
- pink Himalayan salt
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs together in a little jug. Add the double cream and season with salt and white pepper.
- Trim the spring onions (use two big, fat spring onions). Slice the white parts at an angle into thick pieces, like below. Keep separate from the green parts, which should be finely sliced and kept aside for the garnish.
- Melt the butter in a non-stick pan over high heat. Once hot, add the white parts of the spring onions and fry over high heat until they turn bright green and they partially caramelise (this happens quickly in a hot pan).
- Pour in the eggs and immediately remove the pan from the heat. Stir the eggs continuously off the heat using a silicon spatula until they scramble and cook through.
- If they are not done to your liking, slide them back onto the hot plate which should have been turned off or to VERY LOW (the residual heat of the hot plate will continue to cook the eggs.) (If you are doubling this recipe, you may need to keep the eggs on the hot stove top, but keep it on very low.) You will have lovely, creamy eggs in this way, and not overcooked rubbery scrambled eggs.
- Season with pink Himalayan salt and garnish with the sliced, green parts.
I mentioned that you should use 2 large spring (salad) onions. This is key, as it may not pack the same punch if you use thin, small ones. If it helps, your trimmed weight of spring onions should be at least 35g / 1.2oz. If it isn't, use another 1-2 onions. (Macros were calculated on the above weights) * A new-and-improved version of this delicious recipe features in my cookbook KETO KITCHEN.
