- Sea salt (to taste)
- Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
- Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
- Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute.

- Pour in the eggs and stir gently with a spatula, folding until just set and creamy.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with extra watercress or herbs if desired.
Make It Yours
- Add richness: Stir in a splash of milk or cream to the eggs before cooking.
- Go dairy-free: Use avocado slices or a sprinkle of nutritional yeast for creamy texture.
- Boost protein: Add smoked salmon or crumbled tofu for extra staying power.
- Spice it up: A dash of chili flakes or a spoonful of harissa adds heat and depth.
- Herb remix: Try chives, parsley, or dill instead of watercress for a softer flavor.
