Good idea to make soup with your surplus veg, Verano. I too have some, so I may be joining you, and freezing the resulting soup as we go away for a few days tomorrow. Love asparagus soup in fact, like you, I have a bundle lurking in my fridge.
One of my go to concoctions (too easy to call it a recipe), which I tend to serve as a starter and I love it so much, such simple ingredients which I always have in the fridge. One day last week, however, o/h was out and I decided to double up the quantities and have it as my dinner, served with a big plate of salad.
Baked Eggs – main course portion, serves 1
Line an individual shallow dish with sliced tomatoes (I used 6 cherry), putting them towards the sides. Break 2 eggs into the centre “dip”. Season well. Dollop on a couple of tablespoons of full fat natural yoghurt, cover with a couple of tablespoons of grated cheese. Bake in a bain marie at 180 degrees for approx. 10 – 12 mins, depending upon how you like your eggs cooked. Serve with side salad.
The base can be mushrooms, prawns or anything else low carb which takes your fancy, but I really like the tomatoes.
Delicious, really easy to cook for one (though easily halved / doubled), takes all of 3 mins to prepare, and depending upon size of eggs, and choice of base ingredients, type of yoghurt used etc this comes to approx. 311 calories, 8g carbs, 21.75 fat, 20.52 protein. Halving the ingredients would make a great lunch with only 155 calories and 4g carbs. Enjoy.
