Keto Breakfasts To Start Your Day!

Rose Stella

The ketogenic diet, short for the keto diet, is a very low carb, high-fat diet. This diet is similar to the Atkins and low carb diets. It entails drastically lowering carbohydrate consumption and replacing it with fat. This carbohydrate restriction puts your body into a metabolic state known as ketosis. Including Keto Breakfasts in our daily diet will be beneficial.

This causes your body to become extremely efficient at burning fat for energy. It also converts fat to ketones in the liver, which can provide energy to the brain. Blood sugar and insulin levels can be significantly reduced by following a ketogenic diet. This, in addition to the increased ketones, has some health benefits.

The ketogenic diet has a lot of health benefits and advantages. It is good to practice it in our daily lives. Here are some keto breakfasts ideas to start your day!

Egg Wraps with Hams and Greens

Ingredients:

• 8 medium eggs
• 4 tsp of water
• 2 tsp cornstarch or all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon fine sea salt
• 4 tsp coconut or vegetable oil
• 1 and a third cup shredded Swiss cheese
• 4 ounces ham, thinly sliced
• 1 1/3 cup watercress, loosely packed

How To Do It:

1. In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together the eggs, water, flour or cornstarch, and salt until the eggs are broken up and the flour or cornstarch is completely dissolved.
2. In a 12-inch nonstick frying pan, heat 1 teaspoon of the oil over medium heat until shimmering. Swirl the pan to evenly coat the bottom with oil. Swirl in 1/2 cup of the egg mixture to coat the bottom of the pan in a thin layer. Cook for 3 to 6 minutes, or until the wrap is completely set on the edges and bottom (the top can be a little wet but should be mostly set).
3. Loosen the edges of the wrap with a flat spatula and slide it underneath the wrap, making sure it can easily slide around the pan. With the spatula, flip the wrap. Sprinkle 1/3 cup of the cheese over the wrap immediately and cook until the second side is set, about 1 minute. Place it on a cutting board or work surface (the cheese might not be fully melted yet). Put a single layer of ham over the egg while it is still warm. Include a third of a cup of watercress in the center of the wrap. Closely roll it up.

Cook and fill the remaining wraps in the same manner. Cut each wrap crosswise into 6 (1-inch) pieces with a serrated knife
