Description

A wholesome and protein-rich veggie breakfast plate featuring sautéed mushrooms, wilted spinach, charred tomato, grilled halloumi, and perfectly fried eggs. This balanced dish combines fresh vegetables and protein-packed ingredients for a nutritious start to your day.


Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

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

Dairy & Protein

  • 2 eggs
  • 2 slices of halloumi cheese

Oils & Seasoning

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


Instructions

  1. Sauté Mushrooms: Heat half the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until they turn golden brown. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  2. Wilt Spinach: In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil if needed and wilt the spinach for 1-2 minutes until just softened. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  3. Grill Tomato and Halloumi: Place the tomato halves cut-side down on the skillet and grill for 3-4 minutes until charred. Simultaneously, cook the halloumi slices for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they develop a golden crust.
  4. Fry Eggs: Using the same skillet, fry the eggs to your preferred doneness. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Assemble Plate: On a plate, arrange the fried eggs as the base. Add the wilted spinach and sautéed mushrooms alongside. Include the charred tomato halves and grilled halloumi slices to complete the protein-packed veggie breakfast plate.

Notes

  • Adjust the cooking time of eggs based on your preferred doneness (sunny side up, over easy, etc.).
  • Halloumi cheese browns quickly—keep an eye on it to avoid burning.
  • You can add avocado slices for extra creaminess and healthy fats.
  • This recipe serves one but can be scaled up easily.
