Allergens

Eggs, Olives (contains sulfites)

Ingredients

  • 4 large free
  • range eggs
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 2 cups fresh spinach or kale leaves
  • 1 large ripe avocado, sliced
  • 1 cup button mushrooms, sliced
  • 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, pitted
  • 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh oregano or dill, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a small baking dish, toss the cherry tomatoes with half of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast in the preheated oven for 15 20 minutes or until they start to soften and release their juices.
  3. While the tomatoes are roasting, heat the remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 4 5 minutes or until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Add the spinach or kale leaves and cook until wilted, about 2 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  4. In a separate non stick pan, fry the eggs to your desired preference (sunny side up, over easy, etc.).
  5. To assemble the platter, divide the roasted tomatoes evenly among four plates. Top each portion with the sautéed greens, avocado slices, olives, and eggs. If using, sprinkle crumbled feta cheese over the top.
  6. Garnish with fresh herbs such as oregano or dill and serve immediately.

Cultural or Historical Background

The traditional Greek diet is rich in vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, fish, and olive oil, all of which contribute to its reputation for promoting good health. The Paleo diet, on the other hand, focuses on eating foods similar to what our ancestors consumed during the Paleolithic era. By combining these two cuisines, we create a delicious and nutritious breakfast that is both satisfying and in line with Paleo principles.
