Ingredients

4 whole eggs
1 cup cauliflower
3 cups fresh spinach
1 garlic clove minced
1/4 cup bell pepper chopped
1/4 cup onion chopped
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon oil of choice coconut or avocado oil is good for high heat
fresh parsley and spring onion for garnish
*optional tomatoes on side if no potassium restriction

Instructions

Beat eggs with pepper until light and fluffy, set aside.
Heat oil over medium heat in large skillet.
Add onions and peppers to skillet and sauté until peppers are translucent and golden.
Add garlic, stirring quickly to combine and immediately adding cauliflower and spinach.
Sauté vegetables, turn heat to medium-low and cover for 5 minutes.
Add eggs, stirring to combine with vegetables.
When the eggs are cooked thoroughly, top with fresh parsley or spring onions. If no potassium restriction feel free to serve with a side of bright fresh tomatoes topped with cracker black pepper. A touch of feta or a strong sharp cheese would also be delicious with these

Notes

This is a great basic recipe for increasing your vegetable intake! Other spices/herbs that would be delicious with this include herbs de provence, red pepper flakes, extra garlic, and basil. I also like a little of lemon juice with my eggs to bring out the flavors rather than using salt.

To reduce phosphorus further you can you 8 egg whites instead of egg yolks.
