I tried a new flavor of Boursin cheese in my scrambled eggs today. This one is called “Shallot and Chive”. Since those flavors go so well with bacon, I decided to toss the bacon right into the eggs today. Really good flavor combo, this one. If I had had a shallot on hand, I’d have added one minced and sauteed to this, but sadly I didn’t. Of course, I drenched the eggs in butter, which sure doesn’t hurt scrambled eggs. 🙂 This is an Induction friendly breakfast those who tire of boring eggs will REALLY like.

This sounds soooo good, and I’ve just started the Atkins diet….
I’m not so fond of eggs, so I have to really get creative with things to add to them so they have an exciting flavor. Good luck to you on your journey! Though in reality, luck is really not needed for success with Atkins. The science and research is out there that backs it up, if people take the time to READ it. If done right, Atkins WORKS! This way of eating is truly the easiest I’ve ever done. You don’t have the “I’m starving” feeling many complain of on the Weight Watchers program. Been there; done that. Protein and fat are very appetite satisfying and keep Atkineers satiate throughout the day. 🙂 I don’t feel deprived of anything, since I’ve found suitable substitute ingredients and foods for just about all foods I formerly ate.
I don’t want to share this so the two servings will be divided between me and myself!! YUM!
It is good, but I just can’t eat more than two eggs. I’ve tried, but eggs have never been one of my favorite foods.
