Ingredients
  • Eggs (4 large)
  • Olive oil (1 tbsp)
  • Garlic, thinly sliced (2 cloves)
  • Watercress, rinsed and trimmed (2 cups)
  • Sea salt (to taste)
  • Black pepper (to taste)
Instructions
  1. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk until smooth. Season with sea salt and black pepper.
  2. Heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and sauté until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add watercress and cook briefly, just until wilted—about 30 seconds.
  4. Pour in the eggs and stir gently with a spatula, folding until just set and creamy.
  5. 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.
