Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 4 large romaine lettuce leaves
- 1 tablespoon fresh chives
- 1 large avocado
Directions
Step 1
In a mixing bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream. Whisk together until completely blended.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the butter, allowing it to melt and coat the pan.
Step 3
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet, and season with salt and black pepper.
Step 4
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, maintaining a low heat to avoid browning.
Step 5
Once the eggs begin to set, add the cheddar cheese and continue to stir until the cheese has melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.
Step 6
Remove from heat and set aside.
Step 7
Prepare the lettuce wraps by washing and drying the romaine leaves. These will serve as the 'bread' for your sandwich.
Step 8
Peel, pit, and mash the avocado in a separate bowl.
Step 9
Assemble the sandwich by spreading equal portions of mashed avocado on the inside of two lettuce leaves.
Step 10
Place half of the scrambled eggs on one lettuce leaf and sprinkle with fresh chives.
Step 11
Top with another lettuce leaf (avocado-side down) to form a sandwich.
Step 12
Repeat with the remaining lettuce and scrambled eggs to make a second sandwich.
Step 13
Serve immediately and enjoy your low carb scrambled egg sandwich!
