Turkish eggs are a popular breakfast recipe and this is my low carb, keto friendly version made with kale and red onion.
Eggs should be part of a healthy keto diet - they are nature's perfect food. Eggs are they zero-carb, high in micronutrients such as choline and vitamin B12, and they are also a good source of quality protein.
Kale is a great source of vitamin A, C and potassium and is perfect for those who watch their carb intake. Finally, avocado is the ultimate anti keto-flu food. It’s one of the best sources of potassium, a good source of magnesium, and monounsaturated fats which are known to protect against heart disease.
The paprika, chili grass-fed butter drizzle makes it a flavour bomb against the soft egg yolks and creamy yogurt. A super easy, one pot classic that’s perfect for a late brunch.
