Ingredients

• 6 eggs (large)
• 2 tablespoon heavy cream
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
• 6 slice bacon
• 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
• 2 cup fresh spinach
• 1 avocado (large, sliced or diced)

Instructions

1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large eggs, 2 tablespoons heavy cream, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper until well combined.
2. In a large non-stick skillet, cook 6 slices bacon over medium heat until crispy. Remove bacon, chop into bite-sized pieces, and set aside, leaving 1-2 teaspoons of bacon fat in the skillet.
3. Pour the egg mixture into the skillet. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring gently with a rubber spatula every 30 seconds, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist (about 3-5 minutes).
4. Add 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 2 cups fresh spinach to the eggs, stirring gently until the cheese is melted and the spinach is wilted, about 1-2 minutes.
5. Stir in the cooked and chopped bacon.
6. Serve the cheesy bacon scramble immediately, with sliced or diced avocado on the side.

Notes

You can add other low-carb vegetables like diced mushrooms or bell peppers (excluding green for dislike) to the scramble.
