Ingredients

• 0.5 pound lean ground beef
• 4 pieces large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
• 2 tablespoons fresh chives
• 0.5 teaspoon onion powder
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup low-sodium cheddar cheese
• 2 tablespoons milk

Directions

Step 1

In a medium skillet over medium heat, add lean ground beef. Cook until browned and fully cooked, about 5-7 minutes, breaking up any large chunks with a spatula. Remove excess fat, if any.

Step 2

While the beef is cooking, crack eggs into a bowl. Add milk, onion powder, garlic powder, and ground black pepper. Whisk thoroughly until well combined and smooth.

Step 3

Chop fresh parsley and chives finely and set aside.

Step 4

Once the beef is cooked, reduce the heat to low and transfer the beef to a plate. Wipe out any remaining fat from the skillet with a paper towel.

Step 5

Add unsalted butter to the skillet. Once melted, pour in the egg mixture.

Step 6

Gently scramble the eggs by stirring occasionally with a spatula, allowing them to cook slowly and form soft curds.

Step 7

Once the eggs are halfway cooked, fold in the cooked ground beef and continue to cook, stirring until the eggs are just set.

Step 8

Sprinkle low-sodium cheddar cheese over the eggs and gently fold it into the mixture until melted.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley and chives for garnish.

Step 10

Serve immediately for a delicious low sodium breakfast or brunch.
