Eggs with Extra Color and Flavor

Fancy Fried Eggs ~ Lay 1/2-inch rings of sweet red, orange, yellow or green pepper in a small frying pan with coconut oil already melted.  Crack a pastured egg into each one.  You won't need to turn the eggs if you add about a tablespoon of water to the pan and cover with a lid. Continue to cook on a low setting, and the yellow yolks of the eggs will get a white coating from the steam.  Cook very slowly until done according to your liking.

Scrambled Eggs in Pepper Rings ~ Mix scrambled eggs with a little water, salt and pepper.  Lay 1/2-inch rings of sweet red, orange, yellow or green pepper in a frying pan with coconut oil already melted.  Pour enough scrambled egg mixture into each pepper ring so it doesn't overflow.

Scrambled Eggs with Vegetables ~ Melt a tablespoon of coconut oil in a pan and saute' a small sliced sweet onion (or half of a large one) until browned a bit.  Cover with a lid and stir occasionally so they don't burn.

 Add about a 1/2 to 3/4 cup grated carrots and cook until tender.  You can buy already grated organic carrots to speed up the process, although of course, grating them yourself would save money.  Cover with lid to help steam carrots.

Beat 2-3 eggs and salt with a small amount of water (for fluffier eggs).  Chop or slice fresh spinach to add to the eggs.

 Here the spinach is added to the cooked onion and carrots, just before pouring eggs into the pan.  Leave off the lid after adding the spinach and egg mixture.

This is a nutritious meal suited for breakfast, brunch, lunch, or even dinner!  Add a colorful piece of fruit or pepper slices to the plate.  Two or three eggs make a full meal for one adult.  Adjust the recipe accordingly.
