Keto Garbage Eggs are a tasty, low-carb breakfast. It is made by combining the leftover keto-friendly items in the fridge, or you can also use fresh items. We can cook the scrambled eggs in butter or olive oil, which serves as the base, and then we can add ingredients like bacon, sausage, leftover meats, cheese, low-carb vegetables like spinach, mushrooms, or bell peppers, and herbs. These garbage eggs are a good thing to prepare from the leftover components and prepare a filling, high-protein breakfast that fits within the keto diet. We can garnish these garbage eggs with the shredded cheese to make them more indulgent, or we can also add the avocado for healthy fats, or spicy sauce to make them a little spicy. Keto garbage eggs are an easy-to-prepare dish that keeps us full and energized without ruining the diet.
