19g Fats
29g Carbs
19g Protein
What you need:
- 2 cups (60g) spinach packed
- 2 slices of wholegrain bread
- 4 sundried tomatoes rehydrated
- 2 eggs
- 3 tsp. pesto
- salt and pepper
What you need to do:
Rehydrate sun-dried tomatoes by covering them with hot water and letting them stand on the counter for 5 minutes.
Add the spinach and 1 teaspoon of water to a small saucepan and cover with a lid. Allow the spinach to steam on medium-low heat for 3 minutes. Stir and once the spinach has wilted, remove from the heat.
While the spinach is cooking, spray a frying pan with a little oil. Place the pan over a medium heat. Crack the two eggs into the pan and lightly season with salt and pepper. For a runny yolk, cook the eggs for 2-3 minutes, and for a firm set yolk, flip the egg and cook for another minute.
Meanwhile, toast the bread in the toaster.
To assemble, chop the sundried tomatoes and spinach. Spread 1 ½ teaspoon of pesto on each slice of toast, top with the wilted spinach and sundried tomatoes, and lastly place an egg on each.
Tip: To reduce carbs further, replace the bread with sliced pieces of sweet potatoes and toast them in the toaster.
