Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 6 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 1 cup Baby spinach
- 0.25 medium (sliced) Red onion
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon (chopped) Parsley
- 2 slices Whole grain toast
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the sliced red onion to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until slightly softened.
Add the cherry tomatoes (halved) to the skillet and cook for another 2 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Toss in the baby spinach and cook for 1 minute until just wilted. Remove the vegetable mixture from the skillet and set aside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter to the same skillet. Reduce the heat to low-medium.
Crack the eggs gently into the skillet, ensuring not to break the yolks. Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
Cook the eggs uncovered for 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
While the eggs are cooking, toast the slices of whole grain bread until golden brown.
Place the toast on a serving plate and layer the sautéed vegetable mixture on top.
Carefully transfer the sunny side up eggs onto the vegetable-topped toast.
Sprinkle chili flakes, lemon juice, and chopped parsley over the eggs for added flavor.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Sunny Side Up Special!
