Ingredients
- 3 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Heavy cream
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 0.5 cup Cheddar cheese
- 1 small Avocado
- 4 slices Cooked bacon
- 4 large Romaine lettuce leaves
- 2 tablespoons Salsa or hot sauce
Directions
Step 1
Crack the eggs into a bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk them together until well combined.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan evenly.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Stir gently with a spatula, keeping the eggs moving so they cook evenly and form soft scrambled eggs.
Step 4
Once the eggs are just set and still slightly creamy, sprinkle the cheddar cheese over the top. Turn off the heat and let the residual warmth melt the cheese.
Step 5
Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a small bowl. Mash it lightly with a fork.
Step 6
Lay the romaine lettuce leaves flat and divide the mashed avocado evenly onto each leaf.
Step 7
Spoon the scrambled eggs with melted cheese onto the avocado-topped lettuce leaves.
Step 8
Crumble the cooked bacon over the eggs on each lettuce taco.
Step 9
Top each taco with a dollop of salsa or a drizzle of hot sauce, as preferred.
Step 10
Fold the lettuce leaves like tacos and serve immediately for a delightful low-carb breakfast.
