Instructions
- Boil the Eggs: Place 2 large eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring the water to a boil and cook the eggs for 8-10 minutes. After cooking, transfer them to an ice bath or cool under cold running water to stop the cooking process. Once cool, peel the eggs and cut them in half.
- Prepare the Vegetables: While the eggs are cooling, slice a medium-sized tomato into rounds and halve 1/2 an avocado, carefully removing the pit.
- Sauté the Mushrooms: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add 1 cup of sliced mushrooms and sauté until they are golden brown, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Steam the Spinach: In a separate pot, insert a steamer basket and add 2 cups of fresh spinach. Steam for 2-3 minutes until wilted. Remove from heat.
- Assemble the Plate: On a large plate, arrange the boiled egg halves, avocado slices, fresh tomato slices, sautéed mushrooms, and steamed spinach. If desired, add a slice or two of whole grain toast on the side.
- Season and Serve: Sprinkle salt and pepper over the eggs and avocado. Optionally, garnish with fresh herbs for added flavor. Serve immediately and enjoy!
