A Weekend Favorite: Nutritious Broccoli and Potato Recipe with Eggs

Ingredients

• 2 large potatoes, diced
• 1 large head of broccoli, cut into florets
• 4 eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: a sprinkle of grated cheese or herbs such as parsley for garnish

Preparation

Prep and Cook the Vegetables:

• Start by washing the potatoes and broccoli thoroughly. Peel the potatoes if desired and cut them into small, even-sized pieces to ensure they cook uniformly.
• In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add a pinch of salt. Add the diced potatoes and let them cook for about 10 minutes, or until they are just starting to become tender.
• Add the broccoli florets to the pot with the potatoes and cook for an additional 5 minutes until both the potatoes and broccoli are tender but not mushy.

Drain and Season:

• Drain the vegetables well and return them to the pot or a large mixing bowl.
• Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss to coat all the pieces evenly.

Cook the Eggs:

• In a separate pan, lightly grease with a bit of olive oil and crack the eggs. Cook them to your preference—either scrambled or sunny-side up.

Assemble the Dish:

• Serve the seasoned vegetables on a plate or in a serving bowl.
• Top with the cooked eggs. Optionally, sprinkle with grated cheese or chopped herbs for added flavor and a pop of color.
