“Quick” Breakfast

(Modified by Dr. Susanne to follow the Gut Restore/Heal Your Gut Food Checklist)

Yield: 1 serving
Prep time: 10 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

This is my “convenience” breakfast, best of all, I always use leftovers meats, herbs and vegetables, and I add other ingredients to it as I wish.

If you don’t have leftovers, just follow the 1/8 of a cup of each ingredient for every 3 eggs as a guideline

Ingredients:

  • 3 whole eggs (or 1-2 yolks and 3 egg whites)
  • 1-2 teaspoons coconut oil or ghee (use more if you need it)
  • 1/4 cup fresh spinach or arugula
  • 1/8 cup red pepper or tomato, diced
  • ¼ of an avocado
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon fresh basil, sliced

Preparation:

1. In a sauté pan, on medium, heat the oil, add arugula/spinach and red pepper and cook for 2 minutes.

2. Season with salt and pepper, add basil, cook for a minute longer

3. Add eggs, and stir till a creamy texture is achieved…

4. Add slices of avocado

NOTE: Always remember, when it comes to cooking eggs, regardless of how it is being prepared, they contain a high amount of proteins. Overcooking will uncoil the protein bonds and force the moisture out and therefore drying it.

Tip 2: Other possible combinations: Add leftover beef or chicken to the above recipe. Olives, with zucchini, diced fresh ripe tomatoes, basil and/or oregano.

    Question in regards to eggs. Can you only eat them cooked? I read where they are great but you really need about 3 of them a day to give you enough LuteinThere is a 90 year old lady when asked her secret for longevity and great skin she said I eat 3 egg whites a day. Also, I just heard about the yolk.
    Can you clarify the nutritional benefit of eggs and how best to eat them and how much. I see them in your recipe here. I just ordered your Gut Relief combo with the Probiotics and the Digestymes. Is it ok to mix the eggs with these other two. Thank for your help!!!!
