Ingredients

(Tip: You’ll find the full list of ingredients and measurements in the recipe card below.)

1 large egg
1/8 cup liquid egg whites
1/8 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon fat free ricotta cheese
1/2 tablespoon nutritional yeast
Non-stick cooking spray

Optional Ingredients for Serving:

2 slices high-fiber bread
2 teaspoons light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon shredded cheese
2 tablespoons diced bell peppers
2 tablespoons chopped spinach
1 tablespoon chopped green onions
2 tablespoons sliced mushrooms

Directions

Spray a medium non-stick skillet with cooking spray and heat over medium heat.

In a mixing bowl or large measuring cup, combine the egg, egg whites, almond milk, ricotta cheese, and nutritional yeast. Whisk well until the egg yolk is fully blended. The ricotta may remain slightly lumpy, which helps create the creamy texture.

Pour the mixture into the warm skillet.

For Scrambled Eggs

Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for 2 to 3 minutes. Once the edges begin to set, gently fold and scrape the eggs using a spatula. Continue cooking for another 2 to 3 minutes until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft.

Add vegetables or shredded cheese during the final minute of cooking if desired.

Serve immediately.

For Fried Eggs

Let the egg mixture cook for about 2 to 3 minutes until the surface begins to set. Carefully flip the eggs using a spatula and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes until fully cooked through.

Serve on toasted bread with light mayonnaise for a delicious breakfast sandwich if desired.

Storage/Reheating
