I am all about eating beans for breakfast, and this white bean scramble is a great way to get lots of protein in your morning meal! There were a ton of white beans leftover from the last time I made my white bean hummus, and wanted to come up with a savory and delicious way to incorporate them into breakfast.

I served this scramble over some homemade toast, and it definitely kept me full until lunch. A high protein breakfast recipe for the WIN!

Sophisticated Beans for Brunch

This easy weekend brunch recipe is super versatile to serve too. You can spoon this scramble between toast for a yummy egg sandwich, serve on top of hash browns,  or with a side of roasted root vegetables.  The possibilities are endless… and all are 100% delish!

This scramble recipe is great for using up half a can of beans, or leftover spinach leaves you have in the fridge.  I usually always throw fresh spinach in my cart at the store as it’s great for making salads, soups, or adding to a sandwich.

How Do I Make These Scrambled Eggs with Beans?

  1. In a large pan, heat the butter over low heat until the bottom of the pan is coated and butter has melted.
  2. In a bowl, add the eggs and milk. Beat together until the egg yolks and whites are combined. Stir in the beans, spinach, pepper flakes, and Herbs de Provence.
  3. Pour the eggs into the pan, cooking over very low heat.  LOW AND SLOW is the rule for scrambled eggs in this casa.
  4. Every few minutes scrape the cooked eggs off the bottom of the pan with a spatula and fold over into the pan. Repeat cooking for about 7-8 minutes until eggs are firm and cooked, no longer runny.
  5. Plate eggs over toast of choice, and top with fresh chopped parsley and extra crushed red pepper flakes for some heat.
  6. Taste, and add salt and pepper if desired.

    I did this and did not use egg since I am vegan. I added a little nutritional yeast. I had fresh basil so I swapped that for the parsley. I used fresh Thyme, Sage, and Rosemary. Since I was not using egg, I added a little portobello mushroom and grilled shallots. I added a splash of tamari and a spash of liquid smoke. I added a little tumeric. I splashed with dried red and dried green chile.Topped with avocado and fried egg for spouse who is not vegan. I served it over oven-roasted baby potatoes. It made for a great brunch bowl. Thank you.
