Ingredients

• 2 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter (or olive oil for a dairy-free option)
• 1 pinch salt
• 1 pinch ground black pepper
• 1 cup baby spinach (optional, for serving)
• 4 pieces cherry tomatoes (optional, for serving)
• 0.5 pieces avocado (optional, for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the unsalted butter or olive oil to the pan and allow it to melt and spread evenly.

Step 3

Carefully crack the eggs into the pan, ensuring the yolks remain intact.

Step 4

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cook the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny, about 3-4 minutes. For firm yolks, cook slightly longer.

Step 5

Season the eggs with a pinch of salt and ground black pepper, adjusting to taste.

Step 6

If desired, sauté the baby spinach and cherry tomatoes in the same pan for 1-2 minutes until lightly wilted and warmed through.

Step 7

Serve immediately, optionally pairing the eggs with a side of baby spinach, cherry tomatoes, and avocado slices for an added low-carb veggie boost.
