lil carb Italian Eggs

Recipe #3 in my YouTube Egg Series 

And this one is the most savory of them all!! I came up with this recipe as a way to shortcut an eggs in purgatory recipe and let me tell you not only is this almost TOO easy but it is amazing as a breakfast, lunch, OR dinner! This is just as simple as it gets peeps anddddd you can customize how well your yolk is cooked to your personal preference! With literally 2 ingredients and a few spices you can't go wrong! Garnishes not included hehehe

lil carb Italian Eggs- Serves 1
1/2 cup low carb marinara sauce - I used Belletieri's Marinara Sauce
1/4 cup water
2 eggs
1/8 tsp red pepper flake (optional)
1/8 tsp garlic powder (optional)
Salt & Pepper

Garnishes- also optional although I love garnishes!
1/2 Tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp fresh parsley or fresh basil

In a small 8 inch skillet (use this size otherwise everything will cook too quickly) heat up the water and marinara sauce over medium high heat until it is lightly bubbling around the sides and warmed through.
Then crack in your eggs being careful not to break the yolk.
Sprinkle on the red pepper and garlic powder if you are using them, turn the heat down to medium and then put a lid on the pan.

Cook time once the lid goes on:
-Runny Yolk: 2 minutes
-Solid yet shiny yolk (what is in my video): 3 minutes
-Fully cooked yolk: 3 1/2 - 4 minutes
*Your stove may be different then mine- but this happens quick so watch your eggs carefully to get your desired doneness.

Once they eggs are done plate em and eat em!
Garnish with some parmesan cheese, S&P and fresh chopped herbs and ENJOY!

**TIP: to make this for more people just use more sauce, more eggs, and a bigger pan. Use a pan that will fit the number of eggs you want to cook at once and add enough sauce to cover the bottom of the skillet.
**TIP 2: When looking for a low carb sauce I try to stay below 4 net grams of carbs per 1/2 cup. Calculate the net grams of carbs by subtracting the fiber from the carbs on the label.
