Scrambled eggs are one of those recipes that never goes out of style for me. They're simple, quick to make, and yet incredibly nutritious. Especially in the morning, when the day is still ahead of you, they provide high-quality protein and keep you feeling full for a long time without feeling heavy. Particularly during the follicular phase, when you notice a surge of energy and your body can easily utilize fresh, light, and protein-rich meals, this scrambled egg is a wonderful choice.
Inspiration for this Scrambled Egg Recipe
A small inspiration for this recipe actually stems from the German podcast "Gemischtes Hack" (literally "mixed minced meat"), in which Felix Lobrecht confidently declared that he could make "a really good scrambled egg" – and then also revealed what is important in doing so.
His main points can be summarized as follows:
- Not too high a heat: The egg should set gently and not brown.
- Patience instead of haste: It's best to work slowly and constantly push the mixture from the edges towards the center. (Note: I prefer to work a bit faster with more heat, so I don't completely agree with Felix on this point. Feel free to experiment and see what works best for you!)
- Don't overcook: The scrambled eggs should still be slightly creamy at the end – they will continue to cook in the residual heat.
- Few ingredients, cleanly executed: No unnecessary frills, just a focus on texture and timing.
He essentially emphasized that good scrambled eggs have less to do with fancy ingredients and more to do with having the right feel for heat and consistency. This idea perfectly describes this recipe: a simple breakfast that impresses with its care and attention to detail.
Scrambled Eggs during the Follicular Phase
In case of hormonal imbalance, the following symptoms can occur in the first two phases after menstruation: nausea, migraines, midpain / ovulation bleeding, hypersensitivity of the nipples, listlessness and lack of motivation.
Nutrients that can help and support during this time are vitamins A, C, E, B3, B5, protein, iron, folic acid, selenium, zinc and phytoestrogens.
I specifically selected the following ingredients for this scrambled egg recipe to provide support during the follicular phase:
- Eggs: They are rich in high-quality protein, contain all essential amino acids, and provide important micronutrients such as vitamin B12, iron, and choline. Choline, among other things, supports cell health and is important for the nervous system.
- Chives: Contains vitamin C, secondary plant compounds and brings freshness to the plate.

Perfect Scrambled Eggs for Breakfast
This classic scrambled egg dish consists of just a few select ingredients and impresses with its simple preparation. Eggs are whisked with milk, salt, pepper, and fresh chives, then gently cooked in a little oil to create a tender, moist texture. Ideal as a light breakfast and especially suitable for the follicular phase, when a balanced, protein-rich meal can optimally support the body.

Instructions:
-
Put all the ingredients, except the oil, into a small bowl and whisk them well.
-
Pour the oil into a frying pan* (see remarks) and heat it up. Add the egg mixture and immediately start scrambling with a few quick movements. Keep moving the scrambled eggs in the pan until they no longer look wet, breaking them up into smaller pieces. This will probably happen faster than you think. The scrambled eggs should not be browned, or only very lightly browned—definitely not too brown or crispy.
The right pan plays a crucial role in making scrambled eggs, as it won't work if the egg sticks to the pan and doesn't release easily. I've linked my pan in the remarks section.

Serve and enjoy.
