These two ingredients – kefir and eggs – are the perfect starting point for two delicious and nutritious breakfasts! Kefir provides probiotics and protein, while eggs also provide protein and fat.
Here are two great recipes: a sweet and a savory variation, both simple and quick.
🍳🥣 Two Delicious Breakfast Recipes with Kefir and Eggs
- 🥞 Recipe: Kefir Pancakes
The sourness and fat content of kefir make the pancakes extra fluffy and airy!
📋 Ingredients
Ingredients Quantity
Kefir (room temperature) $2.5 \text{ dl}$
Eggs $1 \text{ pcs}$
Flour (plain or semi-skimmed) $150 \text{ g}$
Sugar $1 \text{ tsp}$
Baking soda $1 \text{ tsp}$
Oil or melted butter $1 \text{ tsp}$ (also for baking)
Salt 1 pinch
🛠️ Preparation
Wet ingredients: Mix kefir, eggs, and oil/butter in a bowl.
Dry ingredients: In another bowl, mix together flour, sugar, baking soda, and salt.
Assembly: Add dry ingredients to wet mixture and mix just until just combined and no flour spots are visible. Don’t overmix, or the pancakes will be rubbery! (Small lumps are okay!)
Baking: Heat a little oil or butter in a frying pan. Pour small circles of batter (about $8 \text{ cm}$ in diameter).
Translation: When bubbles appear on the surface of the pancake and the bottom is golden brown, flip it over and cook the other side.
Serve with maple syrup, fresh fruit, or a little extra kefir.
- 🥚 Recipe: Quick Kefir Scrambled Eggs Bowl (Savory)
A filling, protein-rich breakfast where kefir makes the scrambled eggs creamy and also replaces milk or cream.
📋 Ingredients
Additional Quantity
Eggs $2 \text{ pcs}$
Kefir $2 \text{ tsp}$
Ham/bacon/vegetables A little, finely chopped (e.g. peppers, onions)
Butter or oil For frying
Salt and pepper To taste
🛠️ Preparation
Preparation: Beat the eggs in a bowl with the kefir, salt and pepper. The kefir prevents the eggs from “overheating” and makes the final result creamier.
Frying: Melt a little butter in a pan. If you are using toppings (ham, bacon, onions), fry them first.
Adding eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the pan. Let the bottom set slightly.
Creaming: Fold the eggs in from the edge of the pan to the center with a spatula until you get a creamy, soft scrambled egg consistency. Do not overbake to retain the creaminess of the kefir.
Serve with toast, fresh vegetables and a glass of kefir (if you have any left).
