Cooking tip: We love the idea of customizing this recipe to make it your own. Use about 1/2 cup vegetables for each egg, and be sure to track the net carbs for each vegetable.
Ingredients:
- Spray olive oil cooking spray
- 1/2 cup fresh baby spinach (21g)
- 1 thin slice fresh red onion (9g), roughly chopped
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh yellow bell pepper (37g)
- 10 large green olives (40g), sliced
- 3 fresh cherry tomatoes (51g), quartered
- 2 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese (19g)
- 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano leaves
- 2 large eggs
Directions:
Equipment note: You will need an 11-fluid ounce or larger microwave safe container for this recipe. We found Weck jars that do not have metal on the body of the jar, and that have lids, work well.
- Spray a microwave safe 11-fluid ounce or larger container with olive oil. Layer baby spinach, sliced onion pieces, chopped yellow pepper, sliced olives, quartered tomatoes, and feta cheese into the jar. Sprinkle with oregano, cover tightly with lid or plastic wrap and refrigerate until ready to use. It will keep for up to 3 days.
- When ready to cook, crack two eggs into the jar and mix until well combined and the egg is evenly distributed. (NOTE: If your jar or container is on the smaller side, it may be less messy to whisk the two eggs in a separate bowl, then toss with the contents of the jar.) Cover jar with a wet paper towel and microwave at high power for 1:30 minutes. Remove, stir well, then cook another 1:30 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 160°. Salt to taste and enjoy while warm. One jar as described is one serving.
