Egg on microgreens – the perfect Gluten Free Breakfast

Today’s breakfast was easy like Sunday morning –  I mean seriously so easy peasy anyone could put this together, even a kid – just two ingredients – eggs and micro greens. The hardest part was sourcing really fresh organic eggs that had just the right shade of orange/yellow yolk. The Hollywood Farmer’s market just didn’t have any fresh enough today. The rest was a breeze and we all had so much fun in the kitchen.

Our diet has become extremely healthy recently – with lots of fresh fruit and veggies at every meal. Today we used our go to fav from Trader Joes – organic micro greens. OMG – seriously obsessed.

Perhaps I overcooked the eggs slightly as everyone found them a little chewy. However, still the same fantastic high protein, low calorie, gluten free satisfying breakfast. In fact we all agreed that this was so good we could have eaten it again for lunch, tea and even supper. We are huge fans of breakfast for dinner in our house.

And just in case you missed it: Amanda and Merrill strike again – this time in their fab spoof for Disco Fries – Here We Go Again – think Studio 54 rather than Food 52. It’s full of the funniest touches – like Amanda taking a nap on the top of the stove as they wait for the microwave to cook their Disco Fries, the detail with which they explain the recipe or Merrill’s false eyelash coming away. Despite or maybe because of their super cool disco get-ups and moves they both reminded me of Michael Procopio’s Gingerbread Drag Queen. Enjoy and Happy April Fool’s:
