minutesEven though this is a breakfast item we sometimes enjoy eggs for dinner! Folded eggs are a combination of scramble eggs and an omelet. This simple technique results in layers of fluffy and creamy eggs that will become one of your favorite “quick-to-go” meals.
Ingredients
2 large eggs
1 Tbsp. of water
1 Tbsp. (heaping) of creme fraiche
2 Tbsp. of shaved parmesan cheese (we use Trader Joes shaved parmigiano reggiano
1 slice of whole grain bread, toasted
1/2 fresh avocado, mashed
Drizzle of black truffle extra virgin olive oil
1/4 tsp. of red chili pepper
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste
Directions
- Add mashed avocado to toasted bread. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, set aside.
- Whisk eggs, water and creme fraiche until combined.
- Spray medium size nonstick pan with cooking spray. Heat pan and pour egg mixture into the pan.
- Let mixture sit for 15-20 seconds or until the eggs begin to set around the edges. Using a spatula, stir and push the eggs constantly while tilting the pan to allow the runny center to move to the perimeter until the eggs are set, about 2 minutes.
- Add cheese and salt then fold eggs over to form half circle shape and fold in half again. Cover the eggs with a lid for about 1 minute to help cheese melt.
- Place eggs on top of avocado toast. Drizzle with truffle oil and sprinkle with red pepper, ground pepper and additional salt if needed.
Tips: nutritional Value
- 1. Eggs are not only affordable but have an impressive nutritional profile. Eggs are not only a good source of protein and many necessary vitamins and minerals, but they contain a nutrient called choline. (Source: Healthline, Joy Bauer)
- 2. Choline is part of the B vitamin family and may actually help prevent cardiovascular disease and dementia. (Source: Healthline, Joy Bauer)
