Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced carrots and zucchini, season with 1/8 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, and cook for 5-6 minutes until tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  2. Step 2: Push vegetables to one side of the skillet. Crack eggs into the empty space, season with remaining 1/4 tsp sea salt and 1/8 tsp black pepper, and cook for 3-4 minutes until whites are set but yolks are still runny.
  3. Step 3: Sprinkle chopped parsley and dill evenly over eggs. Gently fold eggs with vegetables using a spatula, then slide onto a plate. Serve immediately while hot.

How do I store leftover Reset-Friendly Herb-Crusted Egg & Veggie Breakfast?

How do I scale Reset-Friendly Herb-Crusted Egg & Veggie Breakfast for a different number of people?

The recipe is written for 2 servings. Multiply each ingredient by (your serving target / 2). Cook time stays roughly the same up to 2x; for 3-4x batches, switch from a skillet to a sheet pan or stockpot so the food isn't crowded — overcrowding steams instead of browns.
