Dietitian’s tip

Lentils are slow-digesting, fiber-rich carbs that are gentle on blood sugar, and the egg adds protein - a steady savory start to the day.

Dietitian’s notes

  • Cook a batch of lentils ahead so this comes together in minutes.
  • Crisp the lentils and onion in the pan, then top with a soft egg so the yolk acts as the sauce.
