A quick and easy low-carb keto brunch recipe featuring creamy scrambled eggs, sautéed spinach with garlic and lemon zest, and sliced avocado. Perfect for busy mornings, this wholesome meal is nutritious, flavorful, and kid-friendly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs (free-range or organic if possible)
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
  • 1 ripe avocado, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Optional toppings:
  • 3 slices crispy bacon, cooked and chopped
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh herbs (parsley or chives)

Instructions

  1. Rinse and roughly chop 2 cups of fresh spinach. Mince 2 garlic cloves and zest 1 teaspoon of lemon. Slice 1 ripe avocado and set aside. Crack 4 large eggs into a bowl and whisk lightly with a pinch of salt and pepper.
  2. Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter and 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Let the butter melt and foam gently.
  3. Add minced garlic to the pan and stir for 30 seconds until fragrant but not browned. Toss in the chopped spinach and lemon zest. Cook, stirring frequently, until spinach wilts and brightens in color (about 2-3 minutes). Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove spinach mixture to a plate and keep warm.
  4. Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the beaten eggs into the skillet. Let sit without stirring for about 30 seconds until edges just start to set. Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from edges toward the center, folding softly. Continue cooking, folding occasionally, until eggs are mostly set but still creamy and slightly shiny (about 2-3 minutes). Remove from heat.
  5. On each plate, spread the sautéed spinach as a base. Top with the creamy scrambled eggs, then arrange slices of ripe avocado alongside. Add optional crispy bacon or shredded cheese as desired. Garnish with fresh herbs.
  6. Enjoy immediately. This brunch is best eaten fresh but can be kept warm in a low oven (<200°F/95°C) for a few minutes if needed.

Notes

Use room temperature eggs for even cooking. Fresh lemon zest is preferred over bottled for best flavor. Avoid overcooking eggs to keep them creamy and tender. Use medium heat to prevent garlic from burning. Optional toppings like bacon or cheese can be added or omitted based on dietary preferences. For dairy-free, substitute butter with coconut oil and omit cheese or use dairy-free alternatives.
