Eating eggs is simple when trying to eat low-carb/high-protein, but it can get rather boring quickly. I came up with this tasty scramble, where it’s got just a pinch of heat from the poblano pepper. If you find those too spicy, just use a green bell pepper.
The pepper also gives it bulk for only a few calories, so you feel like you are eating a proper meal, not just a couple of eggs.
