Serves: 2, Prep: 5 mins, Cook: 5 mins

Nutrition per serving:

342 kcal       

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.
