Halloumi And Salami Scrambled Eggs

About

These quick and easy Keto scrambled eggs make a great low carb breakfast or brunch option. Our simple Keto eggs are prepared with a little white onion, crumbled halloumi cheese, chopped salami, and beaten egg. The eggs are scrambled until set and can be served hot on their own or with additional low carb sides.

Can I Use a Different Cheese?

We have used crumbled halloumi in our Keto scrambled egg recipe. Halloumi is a firm and rubbery cheese which can withstand high cooking temperatures making it perfect for frying or grilling without melting. If you would like to use an alternative cheese, you will need to substitute with another ‘grilling’ cheese. Queso blanco or paneer cheese would both make good substitutions. Please be sure to adjust your macros to account for any changes made to the recipe.

Serving Suggestions

Our Keto scrambled eggs are perfect served hot as they are for a light breakfast. Alternatively, you can serve them with your preferred low carb sides for a more filling brunch or lunch option. The eggs would be perfect served on some hot buttered Keto toast or with a low carb side salad.

Ingredients

4 medium raw egg
3 ½ ounce halloumi by pittas
1 tablespoon white onion
1 ounce salami
1 tablespoon olive oil
⅛ teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over a medium heat. Crumble the halloumi into the skillet and add the diced onion. Roughly chop the salami and add to the skillet. Stir well to combine. Pan-fry the cheese, salami, and onion for 4-5 minutes or until the onion is soft and translucent, the salami is hot through, and the cheese is lightly browned all over.
Crack the eggs into a small bowl. Season with black pepper and beat together until smooth and well combined. The halloumi and salami will provide salt for the recipe; however, you may add a little extra salt to the eggs if you wish.
Pour the beaten egg over the salami and cheese. Let the eggs settle for a moment and start cooking, then scramble into the other ingredients with a wooden spoon. Cook the eggs through to preference, then serve hot, optionally with additional low carb sides.
