In a pinch for breakfast? This simple, savory low-carb breakfast is packed with smoky flavor, melty cheese, and fresh herbs. Easy enough for a weekday morning, but delicious enough to feel special.
What you need:
1 tbsp butter
1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered
A few dashes smoky chipotle hot sauce
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 tsp “Capital Hill” seasoning blend
(garlic, shallots, dill, salt, and herbs)
1 slice cheese or about ½ cup shredded cheese of choice
1 egg
Fresh cilantro, chopped, for topping
Extra hot sauce for serving
What to do:
Heat the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the quartered cherry tomatoes and cook until soft and juicy, about 4–5 minutes. Season with smoky chipotle hot sauce, salt, pepper, and the Capital Hill seasoning blend. Stir gently. Top the tomatoes with the cheese. Crack the egg directly over the cheese layer. Cover the skillet and cook until the egg reaches your preferred doneness. Finish with extra hot sauce and fresh chopped cilantro. Serve hot right from the pan.
Tips:
- Use pepper jack cheese for extra kick or mozzarella for a milder version.
- Add avocado slices on the side for healthy fats and extra staying power.
- Great with sautéed spinach or turkey sausage.
- If you like a runny yolk, keep the heat lower and watch closely during the final minute.
