Huevos Rancheros; such a classic breakfast dish! Well, here is my twist on this favorite breakfast choice. Healthier in my opinion! I love tortillas, but I definitely can not eat them on the regular. Egg whites are a great substitution for this classic go-to breakfast!
I love this dish, especially during the week. It’s a great way to fuel up on veggies and protein first thing in the morning, or right after your daily workout! You can easily double this recipe to make two!
Start by heating olive oil in a medium skillet over medium heat. Add your egg whites and cook for a few minute before flipping. This is the base to your Huevos Rancheros breakfast!
In another skillet over medium heat, add a bit more olive oil to sauté veggies. Add cherry tomatoes and asparagus, add a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for a few minutes until golden brown. Add black beans to warm. Transfer the veggies to your egg whites.
Add just a little more olive oil to cook your egg. I like it fried and sunny side up! However, I sometimes will prepare it over easy, or even scrambled. Whatever you are feeling!!! Once the egg is cooked, lay it on top of the veggies.
Top the entire thing with sliced avocado, feta cheese, scallions, cilantro, a dollop of greek yogurt or sour cream and a sprinkle of cayenne pepper. Feel free to add hot sauce or salsa. Enjoy!
