Healthy Recipe of the Week

I love a couple eggs on whole wheat toast for breakfast, but another favorite is cracking  an egg or two in a skillet with vegetables for dinner. While it might seem like an odd concoction to some, give this stir-fried green beans and eggs recipe a try! If green beans are not a fan favorite, swap the vegetable with another one such as, broccoli, asparagus, or cauliflower.

Stir-Fried Green Beans

Ingredients

• 3/4 lb. Green Beans
• 2 teaspoons + 1 teaspoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
• 1 cup Red Onion (diced)
• (2) Eggs (beaten)
• 1/8 teaspoon Kosher Salt

Directions

Trim the green beans and cut them into bite-sized pieces. In a large nonstick pan over high heat, bring the green beans and enough water to cover them to a boil. Cover and cook until tender-crisp and bright green (about 3 minutes). Drain into a colander. 

Reduce the heat to medium and return the pan to the burner. Heat two (2) teaspoons of the olive oil until shimmering. Stir-fry the red onion until lightly browned (4-5 minutes). Push to one side of the pan.

Return the green beans to the pan and shake to distribute evenly, keeping the red onions to one side. Stir-fry until tender (2-3 minutes). Combine with the red onion and keep warm.

In a small nonstick pan, add the remaining one (1) teaspoon of olive oil and stir-fry the eggs until cooked (1-2 minutes). Toss with the green beans and red onions. Season with the salt.
