A simple, delicious egg-based breakfast is one of the easiest ways to start your morning with a boost of protein and energy. Here’s a quick and easy recipe for making a perfect breakfast with just one egg:
Contents
Ingredients:
- 1 egg (fresh)
- 1 slice of bread (optional, for toast)
- 1 tsp butter or oil (for cooking)
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
- Optional toppings: cheese, avocado, herbs, or vegetables
Steps:
- Heat Your Pan:
Place a small non-stick pan on medium heat and add butter or oil. Allow it to melt or heat up. - Crack the Egg:
Gently crack your egg into the pan, keeping the yolk intact if you prefer it sunny-side up. For scrambled eggs, whisk the egg in a bowl first before pouring it in. - Cook the Egg:
- Sunny-Side Up: Cook for 2–3 minutes until whites are set but yolk is still runny.
- Over-Easy: Flip the egg gently and cook for another 30 seconds for a lightly cooked yolk.
- Scrambled: Stir continuously until the egg is fluffy and cooked through.
- Season:
Sprinkle a pinch of salt and pepper to taste. Add herbs or shredded cheese for extra flavor. - Serve:
Place the cooked egg on toasted bread, pair it with avocado slices, or serve alongside fruit for a balanced meal.
Quick Tip:
Pairing your egg with whole grains (like toast) and fresh vegetables or fruit makes for a more filling and nutritious breakfast.
