Description

A balanced and protein-rich breakfast plate featuring sautéed mushrooms, wilted spinach, charred tomatoes, grilled halloumi cheese, and perfectly fried eggs. This quick and flavorful recipe is ideal for a nutritious start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 handful of spinach
  • 45g mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 ripe tomato, halved

Proteins

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 slices of halloumi cheese

Other

  • 1 tbsp olive oil (divided)
  • Salt & pepper to taste


Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat half of the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 5-7 minutes until they become golden brown. Season with salt and pepper, then remove and set aside.
  2. Wilt Spinach: Using the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil if necessary and wilt the spinach by cooking it for 1-2 minutes. Once wilted, set aside.
  3. Grill Tomato and Halloumi: Place the tomato halves cut-side down on the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes until they are nicely charred. Then, grill the halloumi slices in the skillet for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  4. Fry Eggs: Fry the eggs in the skillet to your preferred doneness, seasoning them with salt and pepper as they cook.
  5. Assemble Plate: On a serving plate, arrange the fried eggs first, then add the wilted spinach, sautéed mushrooms, charred tomato halves, and grilled halloumi slices to create a colorful, protein-packed breakfast plate.

Notes

  • Use fresh halloumi cheese for best grilling results.
  • You can substitute halloumi with another firm cheese if preferred.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, especially if using salted halloumi.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a pinch of smoked paprika or chili flakes to the mushrooms.
  • Serve immediately for optimal taste and texture.
