Here are some easy breakfasts with eggs that are low carb friendly.
1. Breakfast Fry Up
The above big low carb breakfast fry up which includes:

You could cook your eggs any how you like, fry them up with your choice of vegetables from the following low carb foods:
- Broccoli
- Mushrooms
- Spinach
- Cauliflower
- Asparagus
- Radishes (which fry up like potatoes!)
- Onion/Garlic (sparingly)
You can use low carb sausages as the meat portion or fry up bacon, leftover roast chicken/meat or any other breakfast protein you like.
2. Cheesy Fried Eggs Breakfast
If you like crispy cheese and crisp fried eggs, then this is the perfect breakfast for you.
Start by frying a circle of cheese in a frying pan, then crack a couple of eggs over. Cook until the eggs are done to your liking. Serve with your keto vegetables of choice.
3. Cheese & Mushroom Omelette
You can fill an omelette with your keto fillings of choice. Mine are usually cheese and mushrooms and here are more ideas for you.
4. Brussel Sprout Breakfast Hash
A breakfast hash makes a hearty keto breakfast. You can really cook up any low carb vegetables you like and then crack a couple of eggs over.

5. Meaty Breakfast Scramble
A meaty keto breakfast scrambled is really quick and easy to make. Simply heat broccoli, mushrooms, sausages and any other keto foods you like.
Cook until done to your liking, then pour over whisked eggs and cook until set. (Here’s the full keto breakfast scramble recipe for you.)
6. Tuna Breakfast Scramble
This easy keto breakfast is low in carbs and high in protein. So, it’s perfect for a day when you’re working out or just craving extra protein.
Whisk together 2-3 eggs and a splash of cream until smooth.
As with the cheese omelette, if you’d like cheese with your breakfast scramble, grate it before you get cooking because it all comes together very quickly.
Also open and drain a tin of tuna and wash spinach or any other vegetables you’d like to include.
Heat coconut oil or butter in a frying pan. Pour in the scrambled egg mixture. Start scrambling as soon as the eggs start setting.
Once the eggs are almost ready, add in the tin of tuna, cheese and spinach.
Cook until the spinach has wilted, cheese melted and tuna heated through.

Pop 2 tablespoons of chia seeds into a bowl, glass or mug.
Top with half a cup of liquid from the following options – almond milk, kefir, low carb yogurt, cream.
I went for a quarter of a cup of almond milk and a quarter of a cup of kefir.
Add a half a teaspoon of stevia (or more) for sweetness and stir well to combine. Move the chia pudding to the fridge to thicken for a few hours or overnight.
Enjoy topped with berries, grated low carb chocolate, cream or shredded coconut. (Read more about chia seeds on keto.)

For a more indulgent breakfast, go for keto waffles. My recipe has only 4 ingredients:

You simply whisk the ingredients together and cook them in a waffle maker. (Here’s my full keto waffles recipe for you.)
