Keto Egg Fast Cheesy Scrambled Egg in a Mug
This Egg Fast recipe is excellent for lunch. You can modify this recipe by doubling or tripling it to suit your personal needs. To make this cheesy scrambled egg in a mug is very easy. Simply place the egg into a mug and scramble it with a fork, adding a pinch of salt and the melted butter. A pinch of salt will be enough to make sure the egg is not bland, as the melty cheese on top of the final dish will add most of the saltiness. Microwave the egg in 20-second increments until the egg is almost cooked. Then add the slice of cheese on top and cook it until it is thoroughly cooked and the cheese is melted. Scrambled eggs is a great lunch item for those people who are busy or on the go. It is also an easy meal to make at work! The final dish is topped with a few chopped chives. You will love this Keto Egg Fast dinner recipe!
Can I use another type of fat?
Yes, feel free to use any other Egg Fast-approved fat like coconut oil, avocado oil, mayo, or MCT oil.
Can this recipe handle adding cream cheese?
If the cream cheese is softened, it should be able to be scrambled into the egg as well.
Serving suggestions
Another great Egg Fast lunch recipe are these Keto Egg Fast Cheese Quesadillas which would pair well with the scrambled eggs:

Yummy for day two of the egg fast, we doubled the recipe. Not as patient as most people, I put the cheese, eggs, and oil in a blender then into the frying pan, but that’s just me.
