Vegetables and Eggs

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 30 min. Makes 4 servings



Low-carb doesn't have to mean skimpy—here's a lighter take on steak and eggs. I love cooking with squash, but feel free to toss in any vegetable combination you like. —Robert Deskin, Plantation, Florid


Ingredients

  • 1 beef skirt steak or flank steak (1 pound)

  • 1 teaspoon Montreal steak seasoning

  • 2 tablespoons butter or coconut oil, divided

  • 1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and cut into 1/4-inch slices

  • 5 ounces fresh baby spinach (about 6 cups)

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

  • 4 large eggs

  • 1/4 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory


Directions

  1. Rub steak with seasoning. Grill steak, covered, over medium-high heat or broil 3-4 in. from heat 3-5 minutes on each side, until meat reaches desired doneness (for medium-rare, a thermometer should read 135°; medium, 140°; medium-well, 145°). Let stand 5 minutes.

  2. Meanwhile, in a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high heat. Saute zucchini, squash and red pepper until crisp-tender, 5-7 minutes. Add spinach, salt and pepper; cook and stir until wilted, 2 minutes. Divide among 4 plates; keep warm.

  3. In the same skillet, heat remaining butter. Break eggs, 1 at a time, into pan; reduce heat to low. Cook to desired doneness. Thinly slice steak across the grain; serve over vegetables. Top with egg and cheese.


TEST KITCHEN TIPSThis is a veggie-packed version of steak and eggs. Sirloin steak could be used, too, if you're partial to that cut. Health Tip:Swap canola oil for butter in this recipe and save a few grams of saturated fat per serving.

Mushroom and Brown Rice Hash with Poached Eggs

Total Time Prep/Total Time: 30 min. Makes 4 servings


I made my mother's famous roast beef hash healthier by using cremini mushrooms instead of beef and brown rice instead of potatoes. It's ideal for a light main dish. —Lily Julow, Lawrenceville, Georgia


Put carrots in after you stir fry the meal put them in last then the Eggs



Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 1 pound sliced baby portobello mushrooms

  • 1/2 cup chopped sweet onion

  • 1 package (8.8 ounces) ready-to-serve brown rice

  • 1 large carrot, grated

  • 2 green onions, thinly sliced

  • 4 large eggs, cold

Buy IngredientsPowered by Chicory


Directions

  1. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; saute mushrooms until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes. Add sweet onion; cook 1 minute. Add rice and carrot; cook and stir until vegetables are tender, 4-5 minutes. Stir in green onions, salt, pepper and caraway seeds; heat through.

  2. Meanwhile, place 2-3 in. water in a large saucepan or skillet with high sides. Bring to a boil; adjust heat to maintain a gentle simmer. Break cold eggs, 1 at a time, into a small bowl; holding bowl close to surface of water, slip each egg into water.

  3. Cook, uncovered, until whites are completely set and yolks begin to thicken but are not hard, 3-5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, lift eggs out of water. Serve over rice mixture.


TEST KITCHEN TIPSThis is a great recipe to use up leftover rice, quinoa or roasted potatoes. You'll need about 2 cups in place of the package of ready-to-serve rice. White button mushrooms can be used in place of baby portobello mushrooms, but the baby portobellos add a richer, more earthy flavor to the dish. Health Tip:This is a great weeknight dinner or brunch option for anyone following a gluten-free diet.
