Ingredients

• 4 Large eggs
• 2 teaspoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 cloves Garlic, minced
• 2 Shallots, thinly sliced
• 1 Red chili, thinly sliced (optional)
• 1 teaspoon Lime juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro, chopped
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0 Salt (optional, heart-healthy modification minimizes sodium)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil.

Step 2

Carefully crack two eggs into the skillet, ensuring the yolks remain intact. Cook for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set and edges are slightly crispy. Flip the eggs gently if you prefer over-easy eggs, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 3

Transfer the cooked eggs to a plate and repeat with the remaining teaspoon of olive oil and two eggs.

Step 4

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the minced garlic, sliced shallots, and red chili (if using). Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, taking care not to burn the garlic.

Step 5

Add the low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, and ground black pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine and heat through, about 30 seconds.

Step 6

Pour the sauce over the cooked eggs, ensuring even distribution.

Step 7

Garnish with freshly chopped cilantro before serving.

Step 8

Serve immediately with a side of steamed brown rice or a fresh green salad for a complete, heart-healthy meal.
