Hi all, and happy 2015 to everyone! I am trying to eat more protein at breakfast, as opposed to my usual low-fat and fat-free muffins (I typically bake several different kinds and freeze them, but even I get sick of them sometimes!). My go-to breakfast is scrambled eggs or egg whites (or half and half), plus 1-2 slices of toast (I LOVE the blueberry bread that they sell at my local Target) and a banana or other fruit ... plus coffee of course! Anyway, so far I have tried my scrambled eggs with different kinds of cheese (can't really taste the cheese, which surprises me -- we used to get scrambled eggs with cheese for breakfast at I-House in Berkeley and I could always taste the cheese, yum!); bacon bits; tiny pieces of cut-up ham; tiny pieces of cut-up steak; tiny pieces of red onions (was surprised at how much I liked this!); and I think that's all. (Oh, I didn't try these all at the same time, lol!)
I was thinking of trying avocado (love love love it) but I don't know when I would add it?
Oh, for breakfast I'm not too worried about calories as I like to get more of calories/fat early in the day rather than later. Just a habit.
So, what do YOU put in your scrambled eggs? (And FYI, when I start a thread, I am very generous with reps to all helpful replies!! )
You can make scrambled eggs with cheese, and a side of black beans, both topped with a little guacamole.
Just thought I would update this old thread of mine ... went through and read all the great suggestions (again!) modcut
Wanted to add that lately I've been adding red chili flakes about halfway through cooking my scrambled eggs/egg whites. Can't believe what a difference it makes -- I really liked the dish before but the chili flakes add an extra "zing"!
Have also tried grape tomatoes, halved (I would have thought they would add too much moisture, but they're great). Very yummy!
I hope others have found this thread useful! Feel free to add more ideas!

Reason: see DM
Sometimes I add fresh cilantro,green or red finely diced chilies,diced onion,green peas,corn,tomato,ginger and garlic and flavour it with Indian spices.
I sometimes add chopped up tofu, it makes it look like, more egg, because it blends right in, has no flavor, & just stretches it a bit. Green onions are always good, especailly with cheese. Most things that you can put in a salad, are good with eggs. Feta, olives, & kale is a favorite.
I put cream, dill, and S&P in my scrambled eggs. But before I make them, I roast a red or gold potato, unpeeled, quartered lengthwise and cut in thin slices, and tossed in EVOO, S&P, and rosemary. I let them roast for 35 minutes @ 400 in a parchment-lined au gratin dish, but any roasting pan will do. I make the eggs when the potatoes come out of the oven.
I don't mix or stir my eggs, however. I shake them in an old Talenti Gelato container with cream and salt until pulverized. I melt butter in a nonstick pan and grind pepper and add rosemary. When the butter is melted, I add the egg mixture. I scramble very quickly on high.

My fave brunch place does an omelet that is avocado, bleu cheese, walnut, bacon, and mozzarella.
I personally love to make a fresh spinach and mushroom omelet.
