About This Recipe

When it comes to keto breakfasts, few things are as classic and comforting as scrambled eggs. They’re quick, nourishing, and endlessly customizable. This Keto Scrambled Eggs with Cheese & Avocado recipe takes the humble scrambled egg and makes it a complete, nutrient-packed meal.

The scrambled eggs are cooked low and slow, resulting in a creamy, soft texture. Cheese is melted in at the end, turning them rich and indulgent without being heavy. Paired with cool, buttery avocado on the side, the balance is perfect — warm and cheesy eggs against creamy, refreshing avocado.

This dish checks all the boxes for keto: it’s high in protein from the eggs, rich in healthy fats from both cheese and avocado, and almost carb-free. It’s also incredibly versatile. You can dress it up with spices, herbs, or hot sauce, or keep it simple for a fast weekday breakfast.

The inspiration comes from diner-style scrambled eggs, but upgraded for a keto lifestyle. It’s a reminder that the best meals don’t need to be complicated — they just need the right ingredients, cooked with care.
