Spicy Keto Breakfast Scramble

Got leftovers from last night’s dinner? We’ve got you covered! This breakfast recipe delectably resurrects your favorite leftover dinner protein and brings it back for an encore. The creaminess of the scrambled eggs, the heartiness of the protein and fat, and the kick of heat from the chilis is a perfect way to get you going for the rest of the day. Serve with plain ripe avocados topped with salt and pepper.

Feel free to mix it up with different proteins — the key idea is just to keep it ketogenic — low carb and high fat.
