I keep hearing from people that they can’t think of any decent protein kicks especially in the morning or when they are in a rush, so I have had a little think about what can be done about this.
I wrote about being prepared many months ago and I think this ties in nicely as I understand the problems people might be facing. so I came up with the idea of cooking scrambled eggs in a cup (I know ground breaking right?!).
The reason for this is its the perfect size to evenly cook the eggs, you can beat and mix the eggs without mess splashing out of it like what can sometimes happen in a bowl, also a cups design is to help retain heat so if you need to take it with you it will keep warmer then if you had in a bowl and of course its more transportable (of course I’m not suggesting you drive while eating your breakfast ).
Further thinking on the scrambled egg protein hit is you can easily add other bits to it for example a hand full of spinach could be added that will quickly wilt into your protein filled rocket fuel, which will add in some much wanted iron both of which will help you pump the iron that much more. Chopped tomatoes is another option or maybe some onions? Its really up to you, it’s such a versatile meal, it really is just down to your preference.
In the video I made demonstrating this eggy masterpiece, I used just 2 eggs and a splash of milk! That’s it.
Yes you can add all different kinds of ingredients and it could be argued that its not real scrambled eggs but to be fair how I would normally make them, most of you would probably argue that it was also incorrect.
Just for the utter fun of it I will share with you how I normally make them , here goes:
Ingredients:
2/3 eggs
splash of cream
nob of salted butter
Salt and pepper
Method:
Get a glass bowl over a bain-marie (basically a pan of boiling water)
Crack in your eggs in and whisk
Allow to slowly cook and once is begins to scramble remove from the heat
Quickly add the cream, butter and whisk together.
Add salt and pepper to taste and jobs a good’un
Scrambled eggs should be creamy and be like a lumpy custard! Hmmm nice! :)
Anyway’s my stripped down microwaved version is just as good. Give it a try and tell me what you think and let me know if you come up with some good combos to add to it.
