Starting your day with a high-protein breakfast like our Spicy Scrambled Eggs and Farmer Cheese Toast is a surefire way to have better energy and focus all day long. Eggs are an excellent source of bioavailable protein, are high in an array of crucial B vitamins, and contain essential fatty acids and minerals like selenium for optimal thyroid function. These gems of nutrition are also an excellent source of natural collagen and rich in all essential amino acids just like Lifeway Farmer Cheese. Our cultured cheese makes the perfect pairing to any egg dish you can think of since its mild flavor enhances other ingredients in recipes and creates the perfect mouthfeel every time.
We whipped up these delicious, fluffy scrambled eggs with a touch of heat and savory ingredients worthy of any toast you love the most. We chose sourdough bread for our recipe due to its gut-healthy properties and ease of digestion. Lifeway Farmer Cheese’s live and active cultures also supply your gut with anti-inflammatory probiotic cultures that nourish your body on multiple levels, and with 15 grams of protein per serving, it’s a no-brainer choice for healthier morning meals, better blood sugar levels, and better focus.
You can opt to blend Lifeway Farmer Cheese into the eggs before scrambling them up or just serve them on top of your toast like we did. You can also customize it your liking and add any of your favorite spicy toast toppings like hot sauce, diced peppers, or cayenne pepper.
The Benefits of Cultured Dairy for Better Health:
Research continues to show the importance of eating healthy foods, including cultured dairy such as kefir, for better gut health, a strong immune system, and to support the microbiome. Fermented foods like kefir hold important value in this line of research due to the link between the gut-brain axis and overall health. Specifically, kefir has been shown to help diversify the microbiome, improve digestion, reduce inflammation, support healthier blood sugar levels, and improve satiety since the bioavailable protein it triggers the release of GLP-1.
Lifeway Kefir also contains a variety of nutrients that are vital for healthy bones and overall health: vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our kefir, we also offer our artisan-made Farmer Cheese, a creamy high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support a healthy microbiome that’s easy to spread and contains no added salt for optimal heart-health benefits.
Prep Time: 5 minutes Servings: 1-2Ingredients
- 2 pieces of your favorite bread (we used sourdough)
- 1/2 cup Farmer Cheese
- 2-3 eggs
- 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, or avocado oil to coat the pan
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh chives/spring onions
- 1/8 cup fresh tarragon and/or parsley, chopped or diced
- 1 tbsp. red pepper flakes
- a dash of black pepper
- optional add-ins: diced red or green peppers
- Toppings: more red pepper flakes or hot sauce, if desired and/or sliced avocados
Directions
- Toast your bread, and while it's toasting, heat a pan on medium heat and add the oil to the pan, just enough to coat the pan.
- In a bowl, whisk together the eggs with the fresh chives/spring onions, chopped tarragon/parsley, red pepper flakes, black pepper, and if using, diced red or green peppers.
- Once whisked together, add to the heated pan. Scramble on medium heat until the eggs start to firm up. When they still look a little loose and just under being set, cut the heat off, and put the lid on the pan to let them steam up (this keeps them from getting dry or tough).
- Spread Lifeway Farmer Cheese onto the toasted bread in equal amounts (1/4 cup per piece), then add the scrambled eggs on top, and top with any options you love. We suggest red pepper flakes, a drizzle of hot sauce, or a couple slices of avocado.
