High Protein Scramble with Ham and Spinach
This is a quick and easy scramble breakfast that boosts protein without adding too much fat. Using a couple of yolks in the eggs makes them taste rich and provides plenty of nutrients. It is important to use a non-stick pan when preparing recipes with much lower fat, such as this one. I also like to buy cartons of egg whites so that I am not throwing any yolks away. I like to add a couple of quartered cherry tomatoes if you have room for a couple extra carbs.

Ingredients
- 2 eggs
- 3 egg whites
- 1 teaspoon butter divided, or butter-flavored coconut oil for dairy-free
- salt and pepper to taste
- 2 ounces Canadian bacon
- 2 cups spinach
- 1 clove garlic minced
Instructions
- Whisk together the eggs and egg whites until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add half the butter to a non-stick pan and melt over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the spinach and cook until wilted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer to a serving plate. Do not clean the pan.
- Add the remaining half the butter to the now empty pan and melt over medium heat. When melted, add the Canadian bacon and cook until heated through and beginning to brown, flip and cook the second side. Transfer serving plate. Do not clean pan.
- Add the eggs to the now empty pan. Cook, stirring occasionally with a silicon spatula until large curds form and the eggs are cooked through to your liking. Serve along with spinach and Canadian bacon.
