30 minutes
Serves 2
Ingredients:
1 pkg Liviva Organic Black Bean Spaghetti
¼ cup avocado oil
½ cup red onion
1 green bell pepper
½ tsp cumin
1 tsp chili powder
4 eggs
1 cup cherry tomatoes
½ cup cilantro
¼ cup lime juice
1 tsp garlic powder
1 avocado
2 stalks green onion
Directions:
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Set aside.
- Slice (julienne) half the onion and green pepper into long strips.
- Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a cast iron skillet (or non-stick pan), heat half the oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the onion and green pepper. Sprinkle cumin and chili powder, salt and pepper and saute for approx 5 minutes. Set mixture aside and reheat the unwashed pan with the other half of the oil.
- Once the pan is hot add the black bean pasta to the pan, creating four nests (each with a hole in the center). Crack open the eggs and gently place into the nests. Place the cast iron in the oven (If using a non-stick pan, cover and fry) for 10 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.
- Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes and dice the rest of the red onion. Roughly chop the cilantro. Combine in a small bowl with lime juice and garlic powder.
- Slice the avocado into thin strips and roughly chop the green onion.
- Remove the skillet from the oven. Serve the egg nests on a bed of green peppers and top with the cherry tomato salsa, avocado and green onion.
Notes:
This dish is even better cold - make ahead of time and store in the fridge for up to 3 days for an easy grab-and-go breakfast.
