• Spatula

Ingredients

• Protein
  • 4 large eggs

• Veggies:
  • ½ large onion, finely chopped
  • 3 large tomatoes, finely chopped

• Smart Carb
  • Fruit of your choice (4 cupped hands)

• Healthy Fat
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

• Herbs, spices, Extras
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp ground black pepper
  • ½ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)

Ingredients are based off the Sleekgeek Food List, combined together using the Sleekgeek Healthy Meal Template, and portioned out with the Sleekgeek Portion Control Guide.

Instructions

• Begin by peeling and chopping ½ an onion, and then chop the 3 tomatoes and set aside until needed.

• Heat olive oil in a frying pan, over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and fry until translucent.

• Add the chopped tomato, salt, black pepper and cayenne (if using) to the pan, and stir well. Allow to cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the tomato softens.

• Crack one egg at a time into the pan, placing each egg separately around the pan. Season each egg with a pinch of salt. Cover the pan with the lid, and cook until your desired yolk consistency is reached. (Approximately 3-4 minutes for the egg white to set and yolks to remain runny. If you prefer firmer yolks, keep cooking for a further few minutes until the yolk is to your liking.)

• Remove from the pan using a spatula to serve up each egg along with some of the sauce, and serve with a portion of fruit of your liking (strawberries, kiwi, or grapefruit work well with this).
