Why This Recipe Works

• Eggs: Packed with high-quality protein, B vitamins, and healthy fats, eggs keep you full and satisfied for hours.
• Tomatoes: Rich in antioxidants like lycopene, tomatoes support heart health and boost your immune system.
• Arugula: A nutrient-dense leafy green that adds fiber, vitamins A, C, and K, and a peppery kick to your meal.
• Olive oil: A heart-healthy fat loaded with monounsaturated fats, which slow down carbohydrate absorption.
• Parmesan cheese: Low in carbs yet full of flavor, parmesan adds richness without overpowering the dish.

This combination of ingredients provides a balance of protein, fiber, and healthy fats that keep your energy steady and hunger at bay.

Ingredients

For 1 serving:

• 2-3 large eggs
• 1 medium tomato or a handful of cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

5. Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan, fresh arugula, salt, and pepper.
