Eggs & Greens is a simple, nutritious dish that's perfect for a quick breakfast or light lunch. This recipe combines the protein-packed goodness of eggs with the rich flavors of mushrooms and nutrient-dense spinach, all seasoned to perfection with just a dash of salt and pepper.
Instructions:
- Clean and slice the mushrooms if they aren’t pre-sliced.
- Wash the spinach thoroughly and pat it dry.
- In a medium skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil over medium heat until it shimmers.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet.
- Sauté for about 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and any released liquid has evaporated.
- Add 1 cup of spinach to the skillet.
- Cook, stirring frequently, for about 2-3 minutes or until the spinach is wilted.
- Push the mushrooms and spinach to one side of the skillet.
- Crack the egg into the empty side of the skillet.
- Sprinkle a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper over the egg.
- Cook the egg to your desired doneness. For a runny yolk, cook for about 2-3 minutes. For a firmer yolk, cook slightly longer, about 4-5 minutes.
- Once the egg is cooked, gently combine it with the mushrooms and spinach in the skillet.
- Serve immediately, either on its own or with a slice of toast for a complete meal.
Tips:
- Opt for fresh, organic vegetables whenever possible to enhance the flavor and nutritional value of your dish.
- If desired, add a bit of garlic or onions when sautéing the mushrooms for an extra layer of flavor.
- To make the dish more hearty, you can add other veggies like bell peppers or tomatoes.
- Sprinkle a little cheese on top after adding the egg for a creamy texture and taste.
- Cook the egg to your preferred doneness: scramble it for a more cohesive dish or fry it sunny-side-up for a beautiful presentation.
- Serve with a piece of whole-grain toast or a side of avocado for a more complete meal.
With its delightful mix of flavors and ease of preparation, Eggs & Greens is an excellent recipe to add to your culinary repertoire. Not only is it quick and easy to make, but it's also packed with nutrients that will keep you energized and satisfied throughout your day.
