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.

Whisk together the eggs and egg whites until smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

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.
