Jerk Eggs

(Space saved for photo)

Serves 1.
Easy to double, triple, or quadruple, etc.
Low carb, high fat meal bursting with vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients.

Ingredients:
  • 1 slice bacon
  • 2.5 oz mixed greens (arugula, spinach, bok choy, red/Swiss/rainbow chard, collard, etc.), torn if necessary
  • 1 T butter
  • 1 t red palm oil
  • jerk seasoning, to taste
  • 4 yolks
  • salt and pepper, to taste
Directions:
  1. Cut up the bacon slice into "bits" and get them frying on medium-low heat.  Remove when they're done, but keep the fat in the pan.
  2. Toss in the greens, and the butter.  Stir around until greens are well-wilted.
  3. Add the red palm oil and the jerk seasoning (I used 1 tsp for my serving, but I like it spicy!) and warm them up. 
  4. Then tilt the pan and press the greens so excess fat pools away from the greens.
  5. Add the yolks to the pool of oil and scramble them lightly.
  6. When the yolks are basically done to your liking, mix in the greens and stir the whole thing.  Add salt & pepper to taste.  Then serve topped with the bacon bits you fried at the beginning.
Garnishes might include lime, cilantro, avocado, and/or sour cream, and of course whatever else you might like, like hot sauce, sriracha, garlic-chili paste, catsup (sugar free, of course), other fresh herbs, fresh chopped tomato, fresh chopped onion, etc.
