Ingredients
- 2 large (about 100 g) whole eggs
- 2 slices (about 60 g) whole wheat bread
- 5 g (about 1 teaspoon) butter
- 100 g (about 1 medium banana, peeled) banana
- 1 g (about 1/4 teaspoon) salt
- 0.5 g (a pinch) black pepper
Instructions
- Crack the 2 whole eggs into a small bowl, add the salt and black pepper, and whisk vigorously with a fork or small whisk until fully combined and slightly pale.
- Place a small non-stick skillet over medium-low heat and add the 5 g of butter, swirling the pan as it melts to coat the bottom evenly.
- Pour the whisked eggs directly into the warmed skillet and let them sit undisturbed for 30 to 45 seconds until the very edges begin to set.
- Using a silicone spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges toward the center to form large, soft curds. Reduce the heat to low.
- Continue stirring slowly and continuously, removing the pan from the heat for a few seconds at a time if the eggs begin to cook too fast, until they are moist, glossy, and cooked through with no visible liquid egg (ensure internal temperature reaches at least 74°C for food safety). Immediately transfer the eggs to a plate to stop the cooking.
- While the eggs are cooking, place the 2 slices of whole wheat bread into a toaster and toast on a medium-high setting until golden brown and crisp.
- Slice the 100 g banana into rounds on a clean cutting board.
- Serve the hot scrambled eggs alongside the warm whole grain toast and sliced banana, enjoying immediately.
Pro tips
- The most common way people ruin scrambled eggs is by cooking them over heat that is too high, which results in dry, rubbery curds. Keep your heat at medium-low to low and take your time.
- Budget substitution: If you do not have butter, you can use a small spray of neutral cooking oil or a tiny drop of olive oil to coat the pan.
- Higher-protein swap: If you need extra protein, substitute one whole egg with two egg whites, or serve with a side of low-fat cottage cheese.
- Meal-prep advice: This dish is best prepared fresh. However, you can slice the banana ahead of time and store it in an airtight container with a squeeze of lemon juice to prevent browning.
- Toast tip: For extra flavor, spread a thin layer of the butter onto the whole wheat toast instead of melting it all in the pan.
Storage & reheating
This meal is designed to be eaten immediately upon preparation. Scrambled eggs do not reheat well in the microwave as they tend to become rubbery and release water. If necessary, leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 day and gently reheated in a covered pan over very low heat with a splash of milk.

Frequently asked questions
Can I make this recipe dairy-free?
Yes, simply substitute the butter with a plant-based margarine or a small spray of olive oil to keep the dish entirely dairy-free.
How can I prevent my scrambled eggs from becoming dry?
The secret to moist eggs is low heat and removing them from the skillet just before they look completely finished, as residual heat will continue cooking them on the plate.
Can I use sourdough bread instead of whole wheat?
Yes, sourdough or any other favorite bread variety works well, though whole wheat provides more dietary fiber to keep you feeling full longer.
