Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef preferably grass-fed
- 1 medium onion finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 4 large eggs free-range for best flavor
- ½ teaspoon paprika for a smokey flavor

Notes
Jen’s Tips:
- For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce to the eggs before cooking.
- If you prefer a bit of crunch, consider sprinkling toasted nuts or seeds on top as a garnish.
