Paleo Whole30 Garlic Chive Veggie Scrambled Eggs
Eggs are one of the easiest proteins to reach for on a grain-free, dairy-free morning, but a bland scramble gets old fast. This version layers in sweet red bell pepper, tender zucchini, and punchy garlic so every forkful has real depth and color. Ghee does double duty here — it handles the high heat for sautéing the vegetables and then brings a rich, buttery finish to the low-and-slow egg cook, all without a drop of anything off-plan. The technique matters too: pulling the eggs off heat while they still look slightly glossy means they finish perfectly in the pan rather than turning rubbery and dry. Fresh chives stirred in at two stages keep the flavor bright and a little grassy, which cuts through the richness beautifully. A pinch of red pepper flakes at the end is optional, but it adds just enough warmth to make the whole dish feel intentional rather than thrown together. It's the kind of breakfast that actually keeps you full and makes eating clean feel genuinely effortless.
