Making low carb simple
Instructions
- Begin by cooking the eggs. Lower them carefully into boiling water and boil for 4-8 minutes, depending on whether you like them soft or hard boiled.
- Cool the eggs in ice-cold water for 1-2 minutes when they're done; this will make it easier to remove the shell.
- Place eggs together with mussels, avocado, cottage cheese, mayonnaise and spinach on a plate.
- Drizzle olive oil over the spinach. Season to taste with salt and pepper and serve.
Tip
Substitute canned sardines, anchovies, or other more adventurous canned seafood if that is what you have in your pantry!
