Cuisine: Mexican
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup salsa verde
- ½ avocado, sliced
- ¼ cup fresh cilantro, chopped
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Ensure all ingredients are prepared: slice the avocado, chop fresh cilantro, and have salt and pepper ready.
- Select a medium-sized non-stick skillet with a lid. Place the skillet over medium heat and allow it to warm up for about 1-2 minutes.
- Pour the salsa verde into the skillet, spreading it evenly across the bottom of the pan. Let the salsa simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until it starts to bubble slightly.
- Carefully crack the eggs directly into the simmering salsa verde, spacing them evenly around the pan. Try to keep the yolks intact.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce heat to low-medium. Allow eggs to cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the egg whites are set but yolks remain soft.
- Season the eggs with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
- Once eggs are cooked, remove the skillet from heat. Carefully transfer the eggs and salsa to serving plates.
- Garnish each serving with sliced avocado and freshly chopped cilantro.
- Serve immediately while the eggs are hot and salsa is warm. Optionally, serve with low FODMAP tortillas or gluten-free toast on the side.
Tips
- Choose the Right Pan: A non-stick skillet with a tight-fitting lid is crucial for even cooking and easy cleanup.
- Salsa Selection Matters: Opt for a high-quality, low FODMAP salsa verde to ensure maximum flavor and dietary compliance.
- Egg Placement is Key: Crack eggs gently and space them evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
- Control Your Heat: Medium-low heat prevents burning and helps achieve perfectly set whites with runny yolks.
- Fresh Garnishes Make a Difference: Use freshly chopped cilantro and ripe avocado slices to add brightness and creaminess.
- Timing is Everything: Watch your eggs closely – 5-7 minutes is the sweet spot for soft, perfectly cooked eggs.
- Serve Immediately: These skillet eggs are best enjoyed hot, so have your plates and sides ready before cooking.
