Perfect Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus and Goat Cheese: A Keto Morning Delight
By the time summer rolls around here in Western Washington the sun has been gone for so long that I've forgotten where I put my sunglasses – every year, without fail! It's like they vanish into thin air, and I have to buy a new pair. Maybe there are little gremlins running around my house at night, wearing my socks and sunglasses – who knows?
But setting aside the joy of getting new, fashionable eyewear, summer is the season when sightings of fresh strawberries, peas, cherries, and artichokes become abundant. All of these are delightful, but the one veggie I seem to become addicted to every year is asparagus. I seriously can't seem to get enough of it! In fact, I've gone through three pounds of it in just the last week!!
When it's in season, asparagus is so thin and tender that I could happily eat it raw by the plateful. However, not everyone in the family shares my enthusiasm for raw asparagus, so I began incorporating it into just about everything and serving it for every meal. Yes, I admit it – I'm that person!
To me, asparagus and eggs are like the dynamic duo of breakfast foods, much like peanut butter and jelly are to lunch. So, the fact that I've made these exact "Perfect Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus and Goat Cheese" every day for the last week doesn't seem odd to me. I think once you give it a try for yourself, it won't seem odd to you either.
Besides the fact that it feels like I'm spoiling myself, which is always fun, I'm actually enjoying the perfect fats for my Keto/LCHF diet. Then you add the uber-veg asparagus to the mix and gain texture, flavor, and a delicious array of taste sensations!
Can it get much better? I think not!
Now, all of the tastiness and delightful flavors aside, how about the best-scrambled eggs you've ever had? I mean like mind-blowingly good! I'm not joking here, folks. Once you try these scrambled eggs this way, you'll never go back to those piles of dry egg chunks. This method will produce the creamiest curds you could ever nosh on.
I made them for my daughter the other day, and even without the veggies and cheese (yes, she's a bit peculiar), she said, "These are the best scrambled eggs I've ever had!" That was unsolicited, folks!! She just popped off with it after she ate.
So I want you to rush to your kitchen right now and make these "Perfect Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus and Goat Cheese." Tell me that they are not the best eggs you've ever put in your mouth.
Go ahead, I'll wait.
Unless, of course, you have to make a quick stop at the store to get the asparagus and goat's cheese. In that case, I'm not quite that patient!

Helpful Hint: 💡: To ensure your scrambled eggs turn out creamy and tender, it's essential to keep the heat low and stir continuously. Don't rush the process; patience is the key to achieving the perfect texture.
Substitutions
- Butter - If you prefer a different fat source, you can use olive oil, coconut oil, or ghee as a substitute for butter.
- Asparagus - While asparagus adds a unique flavor, you can substitute it with other keto-friendly vegetables like spinach, broccoli, bell peppers, or mushrooms.
- Goat Cheese - While goat cheese adds creaminess and tang, you can replace it with other keto-friendly cheese options like cheddar, feta, or cream cheese.
📖Variations
- Herb Infusion: Enhance the flavor by adding fresh herbs like basil, thyme, or tarragon to the eggs while cooking. These herbs can add a delightful aroma and taste.
- Protein Boost: Boost the protein content by adding diced cooked bacon, ham, or smoked salmon to your scrambled eggs. These additions provide extra flavor and a savory touch.
- Spice it Up: For some heat, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce to give your scrambled eggs a spicy kick.
- Vegetarian Twist: Create a vegetarian version by adding diced tomatoes, bell peppers, and spinach. It's a colorful and nutritious variation.
- Keto Wrap: Use the scrambled eggs as a filling for a low-carb tortilla or lettuce wrap for a convenient breakfast on the go.
- Avocado Topping: Top your scrambled eggs with slices of ripe avocado for added creaminess and healthy fats.
🍽Equipment
This is the equipment you will need to make Perfect Scrambled Eggs with Asparagus, and Goat Cheese.
Storage
- Refrigeration: Allow the leftover scrambled eggs to cool to room temperature. Transfer them to an airtight container, ensuring it's sealed well to prevent moisture and odors from affecting the taste. Store in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheating: When ready to enjoy the leftovers, gently reheat the scrambled eggs in a microwave-safe dish. Use short bursts of low heat, stirring in between, to prevent overcooking. Alternatively, you can reheat them on the stovetop over low heat, stirring constantly until heated through.
- Customize: To refresh the flavor, consider adding fresh herbs, a sprinkle of cheese, or additional seasonings when reheating.
Remember that scrambled eggs have the best texture when freshly made, but storing and reheating them properly can still provide a tasty meal for the next day.

Ooohhh, this looks so amazing! You're absolutely right, asparagus and eggs were made for each other. Love the goat cheese addition - I agree, both goat cheese and feta add tons of flavor in small quantities which so helps with the calorie count.
