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. They’re a terrific breakfast ingredient to include for better health—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.
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 optimal digestion and 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 contains triggers the release of GLP-1.
Lifeway Kefir is packed with a variety of vital nutrients important for overall health, including bone and muscle health; these include vitamin D3, K, calcium, and vitamin B12. Along with our probiotic-rich kefir, Lifeway also offers artisan-made Farmer Cheese,a creamy, high-protein cheese made with live and active cultures to support healthy muscles and a healthy microbiome. Lifeway Farmer Cheese is easy to spread, free of gums and thickeners, and contains no added salt or sugar for optimal 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.
