📝 Ingredients (Serves 1)
- 2 large eggs

- ½ cup broccoli florets
- ¼ cup sliced bell peppers (red or yellow)
- ¼ cup sliced carrots
- ¼ cup sliced mushrooms
- Salt & black pepper, to taste
- Optional: chili flakes for heat
👨🍳 Directions
- Sauté the Vegetables
Heat half the oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add broccoli, carrots, bell peppers, and mushrooms. Cook for 5–6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender-crisp. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Remove from heat and keep warm. - Cook the Eggs
In a non-stick pan, heat the remaining oil over low–medium heat. Crack in the eggs and cook sunny side up for 3–4 minutes, until whites are set and yolks remain runny. Season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes if using. - Plate & Serve
Arrange the sautéed vegetables on a plate and top with the eggs. Serve immediately while hot.
