Perfectly Poached Eggs With The Instant Pot
Eggs are an absolute staple in my house. Most mornings, I eat eggs in some fashion - in a scramble, an omelet, over easy with bacon and veggies on the side. I don't get burnt out on food too often.
But, sometimes I feel that way about eggs. And when that happens, you just have to switch up your egg game.
Are you with me on that? If you are, then it's time to try to poach 'em.
Poaching is notoriously tricky to do just right. But with the use of my favorite kitchen gadget (hellooooo Instant Pot), you can get it right every single time. And it is stupid easy to do.
Basically, you can crack the eggs into a small container and put that ...

Open Faced Veggie Omelet
Omelets are an easy way to get your veggies in, and this one is no exception.
Loaded with fresh veggies, it’s full of fiber and thanks to the eggs - it's protein-rich as well. I promise this will keep you satisfied until lunch.
This is the perfect way to use up veggies leftover from last night’s dinner or to use up odds and ends from your farmer’s market haul.
If you don't like the veggies we've suggested - don't worry! You can essentially put in any vegetables you like in this. That's the beauty of an omelet.

Steak, Eggs, and Broccoli
Steak and eggs is a classic breakfast combo, but it’s gets the addition of fiber and nutrients with broccoli added in.
When sautéed in oil, broccoli turns into a different veggie than when steamed — it’s crisp and flavorful, and goes perfectly with the steak.
A cast iron skillet is perfect for this dish to get a perfectly fried egg and well browned steak.
If you're just starting the keto diet, this is the perfect recipe to keep in your rotation. It can be whipped up for breakfast or dinner. It keeps green things on your plate, for which we'll always be advocates.
Don't forget about our keto calculator tool. This will help you ...

Mediterranean Skillet Frittata
I like recipes that are as simple as possible. That's kind of how I see a frittata. A skillet frittata - like this one - is something you can cook quickly before you head out the door.
It will fill you up for hours because it’s loaded with protein, and when you add tons of veggies, it’s full of fiber.
You can also add whatever you like, so feel free to customize this based on what you have on hand, or like.
And don't think that you can only have this for breakfast. I've literally had a frittata for breakfast, lunch, or dinner before. It's filling, savory, and satiating, so it works for any meal, I say.
How are you going to ...

KETO WAFFLES? Is that really a thing??
Waffles are something you may have thought you were never going to eat again on keto, but good news — that is not true in the least.
These blueberry waffles are easy to prepare, and loaded with fiber and antioxidants. You can reduce the carbs by leaving out the blueberries, but for a sometimes treat, these are absolutely delicious.
If you’ve never had psyllium husk, you can find it in health food or specialty stores where you buy keto products. Serve these with a hard boiled egg or two and some avocado on the side for a complete breakfast.
