Get your morning off to the right start with Ree Drummond’s carb-buster breakfast of delicious sautéed veggies and poached eggs.
You’ve heard the advice a million times—breakfast is the most important meal of the day. So why would you want to start it off with a heavy, carb-loaded plate that could weigh you down for the rest of the day?
Instead, start the day off right with The Pioneer Woman’s Carb-Buster Breakfast! The combination of a sautéed vegetables, poached eggs, and cheese will leave you satisfied and ready to tackle the day.
As Ree says, you can make this with whatever veggies you have on hand, but we here at RecipeHub love the squash. Sautee them in some light olive oil to add a delicious texture to your breakfast.
While your vegetables are cooking, get your eggs ready for poaching. Don’t be afraid—poaching an egg is really quite simple, especially when you use Ree’s whirlpool method. Also, the splash of vinegar in the water helps keep the white together.
Last, cut up your slices of cheese for an extra protein boost. You don’t need to add this if you want to skip the dairy. Then you’re ready to eat your warm and low carb breakfast!
