Eggs are a great dish to have in the morning, as they are loaded in protein and healthy fats. These types of nutrients are digested slower, so they help keep you fuller for longer while also supporting muscle and brain health!

Ingredients are broken down into base and add-ins. The base is the type of eggs you are using and the add-ins are all the good things you can add to eggs to make them even better!
1. Bases (Pick At Least 1)
You can either choose complete eggd or egg whites for your dish. Egg whites are lower calorically and only contain protein, but lack some of the nutrients offered by the yolk like omega 3s and good cholesterol.
Also aim for farm-fresh, pasture raised eggs, as they are the most humane and offer some nutritional bonuses. That being said they are pricier, so cage-free is okay, and if those are not options, standard eggs work too!
Serving Size: 2-3 eggs

Herbs and Spices add a lot flavor and, even in small dosages, provide potent benefits like anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties. Ideally, use fresh herbs and spices, but that is not always feasible. Dried and powdered versions are also good additions and last longer
Serving Size: Serving size is to taste, but a good amount usually is 1/4- 1/2 teaspoon, or 1-2 pinches of each added.
