Recipe Makes: 4
Approximate Cost: $2.18
Ingredients
- 8 eggs
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ teaspoon salt
- plenty of black or white pepper
Instructions
- Whisk the eggs with the salt and plenty of pepper. Set aside
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over a medium heat. Add the beef and cook until crumbled and browned. You can use a potato masher to break up the beef which will be easier than using a wooden spoon.
- Stir in the garlic, cooking until fragrant - this should take 60-90 seconds.
- Reduce the heat to low, and pour in the eggs. Cook, stirring until just set, soft and glossy. Remove from the heat and serve immediately.
Recipe Notes
Add aromatics: While this beef and egg skillet is delicious by itself, you can always add a little extra color and flavor by topping it with a sprinkling of chopped parsley or snipped chives, or some sliced green onion!
Make it Asian-inspired: If you plan to serve this with Asian-inspired sides, you can add a few shakes of soy or oyster sauce (or paleo / Whole30 alternatives).
Add spices: You can add a few spoonfuls of your favorite spice blend to take it in a totally different direction - this Whole30 compliant taco seasoning would make this a great filling for breakfast tacos, and a blend like Ras el Hanout would make this beef and egg mixture delicious served with flatbread, sliced tomato and plain yogurt.
