Crispy Veggie Nests Breakfast Plate

Serving Size

2

Ingredients

  • 2 cups veggie noodles/spirals (carrot, sweet potato, or zucchini) or 1 small sweet potato to spiral at home
  • 4 - 6 eggs
  • 1-1 tbsp avocado or extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 cup strawberry halves
  • Optional: spinach

Directions

  • If using a sweet potato, attach it to a vegetable spiralizer and spiralize into noodles. If no spiralizer is available, cut the sweet potato into thin, fine strips by hand. Divide the veggie noodles into 4 equal piles.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Add the veggie noodles to the skillet, keeping them in 2-3 separate piles. Use a spoon to gently hollow out the center of each pile, creating a nest for the egg.
  • Cook the veggie nests for 3-5 minutes or until the bottom is golden brown and holds its shape.
  • Carefully flip each veggie nest and cook for another 3-5 minutes until golden brown and crispy, similar to hash browns.
  • Crack an egg into the hollowed-out center of each nest. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the egg whites are set and the yolk reaches your desired consistency. If preferred, flip the nest to cook the yolk further.
  • Remove from the skillet and serve immediately with 1/2 cup of strawberry halves per serving.
