Prep/Cook Time: 10 Minutes, Servings: 1
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon low-fat milk
- ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- 1 cup chopped kale
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 teaspoon unsalted sunflower seeds
- Pinch of crushed red pepper
- ¼ avocado, sliced
Directions
- Beat eggs with milk and ⅛ teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a small nonstick skillet over medium heat.
