Pastrami Kimchi Scramble

We love going to a local deli for breakfast. They have an amazing reuben omelet and I thought it might be interesting to swap out the typical sauerkraut with kimchi.

This is what kimchi looks like:

It is fermented cabbage and you can find it in the fresh produce section of your supermarket. The second interesting thing about this recipe is the technique. I don’t really care for scrambles that look like a big goopy mess on the plate with a thin layer of egg just sort of covering everything. So I cooked this in a manner that let the eggs set up on the bottom of the skillet and the pastrami and cabbage heat through, before scrambling it all up. It makes for such a pretty scramble!

I like to eat this with a buttered slice of Trader Joe’s Sprouted Grain Bread. Here’s what it looks like.

You can see from the nutrition label that a single piece only has 4 net carbs.

We also love to eat it with a thick schmear of Keto Smoked Salmon Spread.
