Ingredients

• 1 piece large egg
• 1 tablespoon butter (unsalted)
• 0.5 piece ripe avocado
• 1 cup baby spinach (fresh)
• 3 pieces cherry tomatoes
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoon lemon juice
• 0.25 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.125 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a small nonstick skillet over low-medium heat and add the butter until melted and bubbling.

Step 2

Crack the egg into the skillet carefully to keep the yolk intact. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the whites set but the yolk is still runny. For firmer yolks, cook an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 3

While the egg cooks, mash the avocado in a small bowl and stir in the lemon juice, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 4

Halve the cherry tomatoes and toss them with olive oil and a pinch of salt for a fresh garnish.

Step 5

In a separate small skillet, lightly sauté the baby spinach in a teaspoon of olive oil for 1-2 minutes or until just wilted.

Step 6

To assemble, spread the mashed avocado across a plate or shallow bowl. Layer the sautéed spinach on top, then carefully place the cooked egg in the center.

Step 7

Arrange the cherry tomatoes around the egg and sprinkle with optional red pepper flakes for a touch of heat.

Step 8

Serve immediately and enjoy a bright, keto-friendly breakfast or brunch!
