My Go-To Breakfast Egg Recipe: Simple, Nutritious, and Delicious

We all need a go-to breakfast that’s quick, nutritious, and delicious—and this one has quickly become my favourite. A friend shared it with me, and it’s now a staple in my morning routine. Packed with protein, healthy fats, and leafy greens, it ticks all the boxes for a nourishing start to the day. Plus, it's super versatile, allowing you to switch up the spices and herbs to match your taste.

Ingredients

• Spinach (frozen spinach has been a game-changer in my kitchen!)

• Eggs (as many as you'd like)

• Sea salt

• Any spices you like—I usually go for extra chilli, but my friend loves garlic and turmeric

  
  

Instructions

1. Defrost the Spinach: If you’re using frozen spinach (which is super convenient and budget-friendly), just pop it in the microwave for about a minute to defrost.

2. Add Spices: Once the spinach is thawed, season it with sea salt and your favorite spices. I love adding a pinch of chilli flakes for a bit of heat, but feel free to get creative here—garlic, turmeric, and black pepper all work great too!

3. Whisk the Eggs: Crack in your desired number of eggs and whisk everything together until well combined.

4. Cook the Eggs: Heat some butter or your favorite cooking oil in a pan (I love using coconut oil or grass-fed butter). Pour in the spinach and egg mixture, and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until the eggs reach your preferred consistency. I like mine soft and a bit creamy, but you can cook them to your liking.

   
   

Why I Love This Recipe

• Nutrient-packed: Spinach is loaded with vitamins and minerals, while eggs provide quality protein and healthy fats.

• Customizable: The best part about this recipe is its flexibility. You can add whatever spices and herbs you’re in the mood for. I usually stick to chilli, but garlic, turmeric, and even a dash of paprika are fantastic additions.

Tip: Make it a Meal

If you want to turn this into a more substantial breakfast, serve it alongside a slice of sourdough toast, or top it with avocado for an extra dose of healthy fats.
