Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large Eggs
- 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
- 2 cups Baby spinach
- 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
Add the cherry tomatoes (halved), diced red bell pepper, and baby spinach to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly and the spinach wilts.
Season the vegetables with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine, then move the mixture to one side of the pan or transfer it to a small bowl for later use.
Reduce heat to low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Gently crack the eggs into the pan, keeping the yolks intact, to make sunny-side-up eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are slightly runny.
Arrange the sautéed vegetables on a serving plate and gently slide the sunny-side-up eggs on top of them.
Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese (if using) and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
Serve immediately with toast or avocado slices for a complete meal. Enjoy your Vegetarian Sunshine Egg!
