Ingredients

  • 2 Tablespoons olive or avocado oil
  • 1 cup scallions, sliced (about 1 bunch, including green tops)
  • 1 cup celery, thinly sliced (about 2 stalks)
  • 6 cups spinach, chopped (can substitute with kale)
  • 2 cups chopped broccoli (or bell pepper, mushrooms, etc.)
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced (more if you love garlic)
  • ½ teaspoon pink Himalayan or sea salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
  • ⅛ teaspoon cayenne pepper (or to taste)
  • 7 ounces full-fat coconut milk (from can), stirred well

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350F.
  2. In a 10-inch cast-iron (or oven-proof) skillet over medium-high heat, add olive/avocado oil. Heat until hot but not smoking. Add in scallions and celery and cook for about 3 minutes, stirring occasionally (until softened).
  3. Add in spinach and let cook down for a minute to make more room in your skillet. Then add in your broccoli and cook for about 1-2 minutes, stirring. Add in garlic, salt, cumin, and cayenne (and collagens powder, if using). Cook an additional 3 more minutes to bring out flavor.
  4. Add in coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Making a well, crack each egg into the sauce, spacing them out in the pan.
  5. Place pan in the oven and bake for 9 to 12 minutes until eggs are cooked to your liking (you could also cover the pan and cook on low heat over the stove instead of baking).
  6. Serve hot and enjoy!

Ingredient Highlights

Broccoli is a member of the cruciferous family. The Journal of Nutrition reported that increasing the amount of cruciferous vegetables may help reduce the risk of lung cancer in nonsmokers.

The high beta-carotene content of cayenne pepper has been found to increase immunity and help reduce symptoms in asthma.

Celery is rich in the flavonoid apigenin, which has been found to inhibit tumor initiation, progression, and metastasis in a wide variety of cancers.

Cilantro helps cleanse the body of toxic metals such as mercury, arsenic, and lead. It also possesses antibacterial and anticancer properties.

Coconut milk is made from the flesh of mature coconuts and is naturally sweet and creamy. It contains lauric acid, which has antimicrobial and anticancer properties and can help fortify immune function.

Collagen helps maintain the structure and integrity of skin, hair, nails, muscle tissue, bones, tendons, and more. Organixx Clean Sourced Collagens includes targeted nutrients such as zinc, vitamin C, and vitamin B6 which enhance the bioavailability and potency of collagen.

Cumin has a distinctly warm and earthy flavor and is a popular culinary spice in India, Asia, Africa, and Latin America. As a medicinal herb, cumin is traditionally used to provide relief from digestive issues.

Don’t love the smell of garlic on your hands after peeling or chopping? Try rinsing them under cold water while rubbing a stainless steel object (e.g. the sink or a spoon)

Pure olive oil is high in nutrients including vitamins D, E, K, and A as well as omega-3 fatty acids. For the highest quality, look for organic extra virgin olive oil in dark glass bottles or tins that have an expiry date.

Raw pastured egg yolks are a good source of vital nutrients such as vitamins, A B6, B12, D, E, and K, as well as choline and zinc.

Scallions aka green onions have a mild onion taste and can be used raw or cooked.

One of many nutrient-dense leafy greens, spinach can improve digestion, flush bodily toxins, and promote skin health.

Comments

  1. Too many ingredients and too much work and using the oven is expensive. I'll modify the recipe, thank you for the suggestion.
