Recipe

Ingredients:

For the Eggs:

  • 2 large eggs

  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

For the Garlic String Beans and Vegetables:

  • 1 cup fresh string beans, trimmed

  • 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms

  • 1/2 cup sliced onions

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce (optional)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Recipe Instructions:

Prepare the Vegetables:

  1. Sauté the Onions:

    • Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook for 3–4 minutes until softened and slightly caramelized.

  2. Add Mushrooms and Garlic:

    • Stir in the mushrooms and cook for another 4–5 minutes until they release their moisture and become golden. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

  3. Cook the String Beans:

    • Add the string beans to the skillet and toss to combine with the onions and mushrooms. Cook for 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with salt, black pepper, and a splash of soy sauce if desired. Remove from heat and set aside.

Cook the Eggs:

  1. Heat the Pan:

    • Heat butter or olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.

  2. Cook the Eggs:

    • Crack the eggs into the pan and let them cook until the whites are set but the yolks are slightly runny (about 2–3 minutes). Flip gently and cook for another 1 minute for "over medium" eggs. Season with salt and pepper.

Assemble and Serve:

  1. Plate the eggs alongside the garlic string beans, mushrooms, and onions.

  2. Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or chives for extra flavor if desired.

  3. Serve immediately and enjoy a balanced, savory breakfast.
