Ingredients
- 4 pieces large eggs
- 1 cup black beans
- 0.5 cup cottage cheese
- 1 cup spinach leaves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 piece avocado
- 0.25 cup feta cheese
Directions
Step 1
Begin by rinsing the black beans under cold water and draining them well. Set aside.
Step 2
In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the spinach leaves and sauté until they are wilted, about 2 minutes.
Step 3
Stir in the black beans and sauté for another 2-3 minutes, until they are heated through. Remove the skillet from the heat and set aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and return to medium heat.
Step 5
Crack the eggs into the hot oil, being careful not to break the yolks. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and black pepper.
Step 6
Cook the eggs until the edges are crispy and the whites are fully set but the yolks are still runny, about 3 to 4 minutes. If you prefer firm yolks, cover the skillet and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Step 7
While the eggs are cooking, halve the cherry tomatoes and slice the avocado.
Step 8
To serve, divide the black bean and spinach mixture between two plates. Top each plate with fried eggs.
Step 9
Spoon 1/4 cup of cottage cheese alongside, and sprinkle with feta cheese.
Step 10
Garnish with halved cherry tomatoes and avocado slices.
Step 11
Serve immediately for a high-protein, satisfying meal.
