I've recently gotten in the habit of adding a lot of different things to eggs because quite frankly I'm sick of plain ass eggs. My favorite is:
Grab a steak (whether it's NY Strip, Chuckeye, or whatever, doesn't matter) around 12oz. This gives you 3-4oz servings. I like to take a strip, cut it across the grain into very thin slices, and lay the slices down and slice them into thin strips. I season them with garlic powder, onion powder and pepper (you could of course also put real garlic cloves and diced onions in there). Next I dice a potato and season it with either greek seasoning or whatever you prefer. Throw the steak into a skillet with a tablespoon of olive oil and cook til nearly finished, throw in the potatoes and crack in just 2-3 jumbo eggs as well. This will deliver approx. 50g of protein, and to get that in eggs alone you would have to eat 6 which to me makes me fuckin' gag.
I also use lean beef sausage (preferably hot italian sausage) to add even more flavor. You can also add green peppers and/or tomatoes to your skillet as well. Get creative. Ground beef will work too, just use lean stuff if you are worried about fat content.
For me, I get very sick of eggs and to get a lot of protein from them you have to eat a lot of them. By adding steak, sausage or ground beef and potatoes and other veggies to your skillet you can use just 2 or 3 eggs and get an awesome protein pump without the brutality of downing a million eggs, and you can keep your taste buds happy by mixing your skillets up often.
