If you’re getting a little tired of Ketoproof Coffee or simple Scrambled Eggs, take a few minutes out of your day and make something a little bit more on the luxurious side. If it’s the weekend and you have a bit of extra time in the morning – this will be a perfect change for a relaxing day.
These little souffle’s are perfect for single serve breakfasts for everyone – packed full of fresh and delicious flavors, and savory meat to keep the fat up and the protein levels down. Normally I just gobble down some coffee to start the day, but there’s always those occasions when I’m looking for a little bit more. Something that will satisfy me, make me feel good while eating, and not just be a plate of sloppy eggs drowned in butter (don’t get me wrong, I love it, but sometimes we all just need a change).
What’s your favorite breakfast to make in the morning when you have some extra time on your hands? Let us know in the comments below!
