fancy easy breakfast surprise

Breakfast need not be complicated to be delicious and 4HB-worthy. Here’s a prime example, and what a surprise – 5 ingredients only!

INGREDIENTS:

Pint of mini tomatoes

Asparagus

Chicken Bacon

Eggs

Pesto

MAKE IT: Boil as many eggs as you like, to your desired yolk consistency (I like hard yolks, so we boil them for 10 minutes). Meanwhile, across the stove, heat a big pan to med-high heat. Lay down your chicken bacon (or even ham slices, whatever luncheon meat you might enjoy!). On the other side of the pan, sear those mini tomatoes and asparagus, tossed with a little spoonful of pesto.

SERVE: Put it all on a plate. Eat it. Enjoy your morning. Take your dog for a walk.
