Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 piece large egg
- 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
- 0.5 piece ripe avocado
- 1 cup baby spinach (fresh)
- 3 pieces cherry tomatoes
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Heat a small nonstick skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter until melted and bubbling.
Crack the egg into the skillet carefully to keep the yolk intact. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites set but the yolk is still runny. For firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
While the egg cooks, mash the avocado in a small bowl and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning if necessary.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them with olive oil and a pinch of salt for a fresh garnish.
In a separate small skillet, lightly sauté the baby spinach in a teaspoon of olive oil for 1-2 minutes or until just wilted.
To assemble, spread the mashed avocado across a plate or shallow bowl. Layer the sautéed spinach on top, then carefully place the cooked egg in the center.
Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the egg and sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.
Serve immediately and enjoy a bright, keto-friendly breakfast or brunch!
