Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 5 whole cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 whole avocado
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon optional fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter.
Crack 2 large eggs into the pan, keeping the yolks intact. Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks remain slightly runny. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove the eggs carefully and set aside.
In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Toss in 1 cup of baby spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Cut 5 cherry tomatoes in halves and add them to the skillet with the spinach. Cook for an additional minute to lightly soften the tomatoes.
Slice half an avocado into thin wedges or scoop it out with a spoon, and arrange it on your plate.
Plate the sautéed spinach, tomatoes, and sunny-side-up eggs alongside the avocado. Sprinkle with a pinch of red chili flakes and additional black pepper if desired.
Optional: Garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley for added color and aroma.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Sunshine Egg breakfast!
