Ingredients

• 2 large Eggs
• 8 pieces Cherry tomatoes
• 2 cups Baby spinach
• 0.5 medium Red bell pepper
• 2 tablespoons Extra virgin olive oil
• 0.5 teaspoons Smoked paprika
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Crumbled feta cheese (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a medium-sized non-stick frying pan over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the cherry tomatoes (halved), diced red bell pepper, and baby spinach to the pan. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until the vegetables soften slightly and the spinach wilts.

Step 3

Season the vegetables with smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine, then move the mixture to one side of the pan or transfer it to a small bowl for later use.

Step 4

Reduce heat to low and add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Gently crack the eggs into the pan, keeping the yolks intact, to make sunny-side-up eggs. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the whites are set and the yolks are slightly runny.

Step 5

Arrange the sautéed vegetables on a serving plate and gently slide the sunny-side-up eggs on top of them.

Step 6

Sprinkle with crumbled feta cheese (if using) and garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.

Step 7

Serve immediately with toast or avocado slices for a complete meal. Enjoy your Vegetarian Sunshine Egg!
