About Salami Egg Scramble

Scrambled eggs need no introduction, they are a classic breakfast staple loved for

their simplicity and adaptability. This easy scrambled egg recipe offers endless variations, with each family often passing down their own special version through generations, making it a cherished dish in many homes.

My goal was to take this simple scrambled egg recipe to the next level when an idea suddenly struck me. I remembered the three slices of salami in my fridge—what if I combined them with the eggs? Then I noticed the fresh cream on the shelf and thought, why not add a touch of cream to make the scramble rich, soft, and moist? I decided to spice things up with some chili powder. Wanting the dish to be a complete meal, I figured adding some fiber would help keep us full longer. That’s when the star ingredient—the onion—came into play.

And that’s how, one morning with limited ingredients in the fridge, I came up with this 'Salami Egg Scramble' recipe. I hope you enjoy making it as much as I enjoyed preparing it. Give it a try at home!

Tips

Serve the salami and egg scramble with buttery toast🥪 or in soft tacos🌮 for a delicious, satisfying meal, and enjoy it fresh and hot. Pair it with avocado🥑 or a light salad for a well-rounded, complete dish.

Using fresh eggs🥚 will make your scramble fluffier and more flavorful, so be sure to beat them well for a light, airy texture.

Cook the scrambled eggs over medium-low heat🍳 to keep them soft and creamy, as high heat can make them rubbery. Remove them from the pan while they are still slightly soft to prevent overcooking.

Butter🧈 can be used instead of oil for a richer flavor and creamier texture. It also adds a nice golden color to the eggs while enhancing the overall taste of your scramble.

If salami isn't available, you can substitute it with sausages, ham, or  🥓 bacon, each adding its own unique twist while maintaining a similar savory flavor.

Ensure the eggs-to-salami ratio is balanced so that the eggs remain the main focus of the dish, as too much salami can overpower their flavor. You can adjust the number of eggs based on your preference, with 3 eggs being ideal for those following a high-fat or high-protein diet, like the keto diet.

For added nutrition, stir in chopped veggies like 🫑bell peppers, spinach, or 🍄mushrooms, and for a creamy, indulgent touch, sprinkle in 🧀cheese such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Parmesan just before the eggs are done cooking.
