Ingredients

• 1 medium bitter melon
• 4 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons heavy cream
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 stalks green onions
• 1 clove garlic

Directions

Step 1

Begin by washing the bitter melon thoroughly. Slice it in half lengthwise and remove the seeds using a spoon. Once deseeded, slice the bitter melon into short, thin strips.

Step 2

Finely chop the green onions and garlic clove. Set them aside.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until well combined.

Step 4

Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of butter. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced bitter melon to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes or until the bitter melon is tender. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Step 6

Slide the cooked bitter melon to one side of the skillet and add the remaining tablespoon of butter to the empty side. Pour the egg mixture into the buttered side of the skillet.

Step 7

Allow the eggs to set slightly for around 30 seconds, then begin to gently fold and stir the eggs using a spatula, combining them slowly with the bitter melon.

Step 8

Continue cooking and gently folding the eggs until they are softly scrambled and just set, about 2-3 minutes.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped green onions over the scrambled eggs.

Step 10

Serve hot, and enjoy your Keto Scrambled Eggs with Bitter Melon as a nutritious and low-carb breakfast option.
