I don’t know if there is an ingredient that I appreciate as much as the egg. Eggs are so incredibly versatile, plus they are packed with protein and other nutrients. They are an obvious edition to any low carb breakfast table.

From savoury to sweet, eggs accept the flavours of the accompanying ingredients so well, they are basically a welcoming host to bold flavours like the abundance of summer herbs we are packing into our scrambled eggs today.

Flavourful Herby Scrambled Eggs

Fresh herbs are an excellent way to inject some flavour into this low carb breakfast staple. Scrambled eggs are both an incredibly simple and incredibly complex dish. World famous chefs such and Gordon Ramsay have even stated that making scrambled eggs “properly” is one of the most difficult dishes for any chef to master.

But we don’t need a lifetimes worth of experience to make a delicious breakfast, simply adding a falvourful twist like fresh herbs to the classic scrambled eggs can really elevate your breakfast game.  

How to Make Flavourful 'Herby' Scrambled Eggs

Let’s start with a variety of our favourite herbs. There is no particular rhyme or reason why these herbs were chosen for these flavourful scrambled eggs, other than, I like them, and they all happen to be growing on my balcony at the moment. 

All this to say there are no wrong herbs or flavours to use here, use these exact ones, or use what you have on hand. The point is to inspire you to keep your low carb breakfast routine fresh and exciting.

If you are making these herby summer scrambled eggs as part of a healthy low carb breakfast, make sure to give the longer cooking items like bacon or sausage a head start over the eggs. Making flavourful scrambled eggs only takes about 2 minutes to prepare and 5 or so minutes to cook.

Yet another great thing about eggs, you can cook them up in a flash!

I’m Being heavy handed with the milder herbs such as parsley and dill, and being slightly more conservative with the stronger sage and rosemary. 

As you can see these herbs still have the stems on them, and with the exception of the rosemary, I will be using the stems of all these herbs. The stems of parsley and dill are still packed with flavour it makes little sense to waste them. 

Dill stems are especially delicious. The texture is not as delicate as the leaves, but they have an almost sweetness to them that is oh so very pleasant on the tongue.

Everything gets a coarse chop except the rosemary which will stripped from the stem and chopped very fine. Since it won’t have much time to cook and soften, you should avoid having pieces of rosemary too large as it can be kind of woody.

How To Scramble, Scrambled Eggs

I am not going to pretend there is one definitive way to scramble eggs. My Mom uses an immersion blender with great success, my Dad a fork or sometimes, doesn’t even bother with pre-scrambling. You can just crack the eggs straight into the pan and they kind of scramble as you are cooking them and mixing them around.

Do this however you like. For this batch I cracked the eggs into a bowl and pre-scrambled them with a fork until the yolks and the whites were well combined. 

Use a non-stick pan for this, it’s just easier and you don’t lose half your egg to the bottom of the pan. Heat some butter in the pan on medium-lowish heat. Think medium then turn back the burner just a tad.

Once the butter is melted and just bubbling slightly, add the raw scrambled eggs. I like to use a heat resistant rubber spatula to cook eggs, it is perfect for scraping the eggs off the pan with damaging the non-stick coating, I even use it for omelettes. 

Scrambled eggs only need about 3-5 minutes to cook at this heat, don’t walk away though, you should be stirring around the eggs frequently, if not constantly until they are cooked to your liking. 

Right before you are ready to take the eggs off the heat, throw in all your fresh chopped herbs, I decided to hold off on adding the chives, and use them as a garnish after the eggs were plated so they retained some bite and crisp to them. 

Now scramble together your eggs and herbs until everything is combined and remove them from the heat. Plate, and top with any remaining herbs, hit it with salt and pepper and serve rather quickly as the fresher the better, no one likes cold eggs.
