Tips and Variations
- Replace chia wholegrain bread with gluten-free toast for a gluten-free option.
- Use spinach instead of rocket for a milder taste.
- Try feta cheese instead of bocconcini for a tangy twist, or swap mozzarella with low-fat cheese to reduce calories.
- Use only egg whites for a lighter version with more protein and less fat.
- Add grilled chicken breast or smoked salmon for a heartier, post-workout meal.
- Sprinkle extra basil or rocket leaves on top for a café-style presentation.
- Serve with a side of sliced avocado or cherry tomatoes for extra freshness.
- Pair with a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice or a green smoothie to make a balanced breakfast.
Meal Storage
Store any leftover scramble in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Warm it up gently on the stove with a little olive oil or milk to keep it creamy. Toast the bread fresh when you’re ready to eat for the best crunch.
