Dietitian’s tip

Eggs poached in tomato are naturally low in carb and high in protein - a steady, blood-sugar-friendly start to the day. Skip bread on the side if you're watching carbs, or keep it to one small slice.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Let the tomatoes cook down until jammy before adding the eggs - it builds flavor without extra salt.
  • A little shaved provolone melts in for richness, so you don't need much.
