Super easy and delish: chipotle eggs!



Recommended Posts

So I eat these ALL THE TIME NOW. Like I will never eat plain eggs again. :D

Four ingredients (not counting salt or pepper to taste):

1 egg

1 pat butter

1/2 tablespoon of chipotle chilies in adobo sauce (smooth blended sauce)

1/2-1 full tablespoon of plain greek yogurt (I have the zero fat version, but the full fat would be fine too if you want the extra fat)

Heat small frying pan with butter until bubbly (I ususally do a medium high heat for this phase to get the pan hot and melt the butter before adding egg). While pan is heating, crack egg into bowl, add ingredients and then scramble up until the mixture is combined well. Turn heat down to medium low heat (lower is better to achieve a creamy/custardy texture to the egg), add egg to pan and stir constantly until egg is almost done. Remove from heat while still looking a bit "wet" as the egg continues to cook for a few seconds due to residual heat, and this prevents the egg from getting hard and overcooked. Plate, add salt and pepper to taste.

I use chipotle chilies in adobo sauce but the kind where they've blended it all up so it's a sauce with no chunks (you can buy the cans with the peppers still whole and just blend them yourself but this way is less to clean up). Adding dairy (greek yogurt) is a chef secret to get creamy fluffy eggs - any dairy will help, but especially sour cream or greek yogurt and the yogurt adds more protein! Cooking the egg on low heat, constant stirring and removing the egg from heat right before it is considered "done" results in a better egg too. ;)

This results in a very creamy textured scrambled egg that has a lovely smoky slightly spicy flavor and works beautifully with sausage, bacon or ham. If you're unfamiliar with how chipotles taste, you might want to add less to start with (but if you like spicy without a hard burn, this is good stuff - add more if you want more spicy).

I hope you'll post back if you like them. :)

I wanted to find some add ins for my egg because usually I just put a bunch of sharp cheddar or pepper jack (and some green onion) and cheese is high in both calories and fat. While still tasty, I'd like to have other options.

This sounds delish! I'm doing into puréed phase and can have eggs. This will definitely be on the menu. Btw where do you find the chipotle chilies in adobo sauce?

I just made the eggs and they were delicious! I had a whole egg and another one the egg white only. I did add little more chipotle sauce. Thanks again for the recipe. I love eggs and could eat them ant time of the day.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
