How To Make Keto Veggie Scramble
Keto Veggie Scramble With Sausage
Ingredients
- 30 Quail Eggs
- 1 lb Sausage
- 1 tbsp Olive Oil
- 1 Red Pepper
- 1 Green Pepper
- 2 Zucchini
- 3.5 oz Spinach Fresh or Frozen
- 1 Garlic Clove
- Salt
- Pepper
- Some Basil Leaves Optional
- Some Parsley Leaves Optional
Instructions
- Start by preparing your veggies. Wash them and proceed to chop them all. Put the zucchini in a separate bowl and don't season with salt as they will leave a lot of water.
- Now, take a large saucepan and heat about 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Then, add the minced garlic, and give it a quick stir. Next, add in the spinach and peppers. Hold the zucchini for a little while longer.
- Saute for approximately 5 minutes over medium heat. Then, add the zucchini and season the veggie mix with spices. Add some basil and parsley, if you like. Lower the heat and keep sauteing for an additional 3-5 minutes, making sure not to cook the veggie scramble all the way.
- As soon as they are partly done, remove the pan from heat and set aside. Now, it's time to take the pork sausage and cut it into chunks. Add the meat on top of the vegetables, cover the pan with a lid, and continue cooking. Reduce the heat and allow it to cook for 10 minutes.
- Now, it is time to crack the quail eggs in a bowl and whisk them a little. Don't do it as you would for an omelet, you want that scrambled eggs look where the white is still visible. Season with a little salt and pepper before pouring on top of the sausage chunks.
- Put the pan back on the heat and mix everything until the eggs have set and everything is nicely bound together. By now it should smell absolutely delicious.
