Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium onion, cut into chunks
- 1/2 cup diced yellow squash
- 1/2 cup diced zucchini
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tomato, sliced thickly
- 1 teaspoon vinegar
- 2 eggs
- 1 slice cheese (Monterey Jack, Cheddar, Swiss, etc.)
Instructions
- Warm the olive oil in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the yellow squash and zucchini, sprinkle with salt and pepper and stir and cook for 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Grill the tomato slices on a grill pan or simply sear them in a hot skillet. Remove and set aside.
- Bring a medium saucepan of water to a gentle boil. Add the vinegar. Use a wooden spoon to carefully stir the water into a circular “whirlpool.” Crack the eggs into the water and allow them to swirl around in the water until they begin to set. Let them stay in the water for 1 minute, then remove them with a slotted spoon and set on a plate. If the eggs need to be cooked longer, just add them back to the water for 30 seconds at a time.
- Spoon the vegetables on a plate or in a bowl and set the eggs on top. Lay the tomato slices on the side. Place the cheese slice on the side. Sprinkle the eggs with salt and pepper and serve!

Isn’t this nothing more than poached eggs on vegetables? Oh wait…. it has a slice of cheese.
Great breakfast and the poached eggs turned out perfect! A great way to start the day. Thank you for your recipes:)
Thanks so much for this recipe. I have a B&B and sometimes have gluten/dairy/wheat free guests. This is perfect for them. (I substitute the cheese for candied salmon if they eat meat.) It looks lovely in a bowl, along with a basil garnish.
Great seeing Ree doing low carb recipes! Thanks!
Excellent, good-for-you breakfast! Very filling. I only had grape tomatoes, halved them, and threw them into the veggies at the last minute. Next time, I am thinking about throwing in a little garlic with the onions and a sprinkle of Italian seasoning. My husband wants me to also try tossing in a little Southwest seasoning at some point.
Fabulous! Filling and delicious! A great contrast of textures between the veggies and the eggs. A winner!
This is great. Watching my carbs so appreciated seeing a “carb buster” recipe. 🙂
I make this for our family, however I roast vegetables in the oven at 400 with olive oil, Kosher salt, and pepper which makes them delicious. I use a baking sheet, with foil. I fry the eggs, poaching them is better for a fat free meal.
Tried this this morning. Very filling and satisfying. Excellent! Please, more low carb and no carb recipes. Thank you.
