Slow, simple my mornings. My favorite. Made even better with a new go-to breakfast, caprese eggs.
This is the perfect gluten free, non-starchy breakfast option. Plus, it can easily be made dairy free using a dairy free cheese!
It’s packed with nutrients, filling, and the best flavor combinations. I cannot get enough of summer tomatoes paired with balsamic glaze. Too good!

Speaking of balsamic glaze…its something I always have in my cabinet (I get mine at Whole Foods or local specialty stores). It adds the best slightly sweet, acidic flavor on toasts, pizza, sandwiches, salads, etc. I am in love!

These caprese style eggs are simple to make, but feel so fancy. The best kinds of meals!
A few of you have served this over toast since I posted the recipe on Instagram, and I absolutely am trying that next time! Or maybe over an English muffin. Yum!!
If you don’t have balsamic glaze, you can sub a splash of regular balsamic! As for the base of greens, you can really use any you have 🙂 It adds a fresh bite while upping the nutrients of the meal. Win win!

This recipe was very good but the only thing I don’t like is that you don’t have the calories, protein, carbs, fats or fibers listed for your recipes. That makes it harder for me to use your recipes when trying to recoded those things daily.
