Description

This recipe is proof that simple ingredients can make a big impact—on flavor and on blood sugar management. Whether you’re managing diabetes, looking for high-protein meals, or just want something delicious in under 10 minutes, Crispy Parmesan Eggs are a win.


Ingredients

Scale

1 tsp olive oil

3 tbsp Parmesan cheese, coarsely grated

3 eggs

Salt and black pepper, to taste


Instructions

  1. Brush olive oil over the bottom of a 10-inch nonstick or cast-iron skillet. Heat on medium.

  2. Evenly sprinkle 2 tablespoons of Parmesan over the base. Cook for about 2 minutes, until the cheese starts to melt.

  3. Crack the eggs on top, cover, and cook for 2–3 minutes until the whites are starting to set.

  4. Uncover, turn the heat to medium-high, and cook for another 1–2 minutes until the edges are crisp. (Careful not to over-brown the cheese—crispy is good, burnt is not!)

  5. Season with salt and pepper. Sprinkle with the last tablespoon of Parmesan before serving.

Notes

  • Add avocado slices on the side for extra healthy fats.
  • Pair with a small green salad or sautéed spinach for more fiber.
  • Want a little crunch? Try one slice of whole-grain toast to round out the meal.
  • Add a little hot sauce or salsa for good kick.
