Ingredients
- 2 pieces large eggs
- 1 teaspoon unsalted butter
- 1 cup baby spinach
- 5 whole cherry tomatoes
- 0.5 whole avocado
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.125 teaspoon red chili flakes
- 1 tablespoon optional fresh parsley (for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt 1 teaspoon of unsalted butter.
Step 2
Crack 2 large eggs into the pan, keeping the yolks intact. Cook uncovered for 3-5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks remain slightly runny. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Remove the eggs carefully and set aside.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Toss in 1 cup of baby spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
Step 4
Cut 5 cherry tomatoes in halves and add them to the skillet with the spinach. Cook for an additional minute to lightly soften the tomatoes.
Step 5
Slice half an avocado into thin wedges or scoop it out with a spoon, and arrange it on your plate.
Step 6
Plate the sautéed spinach, tomatoes, and sunny-side-up eggs alongside the avocado. Sprinkle with a pinch of red chili flakes and additional black pepper if desired.
Step 7
Optional: Garnish with 1 tablespoon of freshly chopped parsley for added color and aroma.
Step 8
Serve immediately and enjoy your Low Carb Sunshine Egg breakfast!
