Breakfast for Lunch

I LOVE to have breakfast for lunch. Actually, I love to have breakfast any time. My latest obsession is fried eggs, over easy. Plus, I've been on a low calorie diet and I find breakfast to be a filling, yet a cheap and low-calorie meal. Yesterday, I made this yummy 400 calorie number:
 
It is basically sautéed spinach, tomato and onion, topped with cheese, salsa, avocado and a fried egg. YUMMY!
 
Here's what materials you will need:
  • Chopping Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Small Skillet
  • Non-stick Spray
  • Spatula 
Here's the ingredients:
  • 1 cup of Spinach
  • 1/2 Small Yellow Onion
  • 1 Tomato
  • 1 Slice of Colby Jack Cheese
  • 2 Tlbsp of Salsa (I prefer Mrs. Renfros)
  • 1/2 an Avocado
  • 1 Egg
All in all this meal takes less than 7 minutes. So let's get started: 
  • Chop your yellow onion into small squares
  • Once the onion is chopped, spray the small skillet with non-stick spray, heat to medium-low and add onions
  • While they are cooking, wash your cup of spinach and then add it to the onions
  • While they are both cooking, dice your tomato into small squares and then add it to the skillet
  • Once everything is cooked, plate and set aside
  • Wipe the pan clean, then spray it again with non-stick spray and turn the heat to high
  • Crack your egg in the skillet, but be careful not to bust the yolk. Use your spatula to poke around the yolk (not the actual yolk), so that the other liquids evenly distribute and thoroughly cook.
  • After the egg is white and "solid" looking, flip it and reduce the heat to low. Cook like this for roughly 90 more second and then serve.
  • While your back side of the egg is cooking, add the slice of cheese to your plated spinach, onion and tomatoes. Microwave for 15-30 seconds to reheat the meal and melt the cheese.
  • Top this mixture with your 2 tablespoons of salsa and 1/2 avocado. I spoon both straight on to the plate.
  • By now, your fried egg should be perfectly cooked. Add it to the top of your masterpiece and enjoy!
To make this meal even more low calorie just cut out the cheese and avocado. If one egg will not fill you up, try removing the cheese and adding an additional egg and more spinach.

What's your favorite way to eat fried eggs, over easy? I love to put them on breakfast tacos or crab cakes!
