A Quick, Yummy, Low-Cal Breakfast
Goood morning, everyone and happy Monday!
I just made a delicious and hearty breakfast that’s under 300 calories.
Here’s what you’ll need:
- 2 cage-free eggs
- 1 tablespoon of unsalted organic butter
- A heaping handful of baby spinach
- 1/2 a Roma tomato (sliced horizontally)
- Some lemon juice
- Black pepper
Heat the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. While that’s warming, lay the spinach on a plate, drizzle with lemon juice (and a few capers if you like them), and then top with the tomato slices. Once the butter’s warm, quickly quick your eggs sunny side up and then literally dump the skillet of eggs on top of the tomatoes and spinach. Sprinkle with black pepper and you’re done! It takes all of about 5 minutes and it’s tasty, healthy, and a great way to start your day.
