Low-GI Spinach & Egg Scramble
This breakfast prevents the 10am crash — the blood-sugar spike-and-drop cycle that sends you reaching for biscuits and drives up cortisol. Pasture-raised eggs deliver complete protein and choline essential for liver oestrogen clearance; baby spinach adds magnesium and iron; and thick-cut sourdough provides resistant starch that feeds beneficial gut bacteria. Together they produce a slow, steady glucose curve keeping energy and mood stable for 4+ hours.
Ingredients
- 2 large pasture-raised eggs
- 80 g baby spinach, washed
- 1 thick slice sourdough bread
- 1 tsp unsalted butter or ghee
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 2 tbsp whole milk or oat milk
- Sea salt and black pepper
- Red chilli flakes (optional)
- Fresh chives, to serve
Method
Step-by-step instructions
Toast the sourdough
Toast your sourdough to your preferred level. Set aside.
Wilt the spinach
Melt butter in a non-stick pan over medium heat. Add garlic, cook 30 seconds. Add spinach and toss until just wilted, about 90 seconds. Push to one side.
Whisk the eggs
Whisk eggs with milk, salt, and pepper. Pour into the empty side of the pan.
Scramble low and slow
Gently fold the eggs every 10–15 seconds over medium-low heat. Remove from heat while they still look slightly underdone — residual heat finishes them perfectly.
Serve immediately
Pile eggs and spinach onto the toast. Top with chilli flakes and fresh chives.
