Green Beans & Egg Yolk Power Skillet

A simple, blood-sugar–friendly recipe packed with fiber, protein, and nutrients

Description

This easy Green Beans & Egg Yolk Power Skillet combines fresh green beans with rich egg yolks for a quick, nourishing dish. Green beans are high in fiber and antioxidants, which may help support healthy blood sugar levels, while eggs provide protein and healthy fats that slow glucose absorption.

⚠️ Note: No single food “immediately” drops blood sugar, but balanced meals like this can help stabilize it.

 Ingredients (2 Servings)

  • 3 cups fresh green beans (trimmed and chopped)

  • 3 egg yolks (or 2 whole eggs if preferred)

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter

  • 1 clove garlic (minced)

  • Salt and black pepper to taste

  • Optional: pinch of chili flakes, squeeze of lemon, grated Parmesan

 Instructions

  1. Prep the beans: Wash and trim green beans. Cut into bite-sized pieces.

  2. Blanch (optional but recommended): Boil for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender, then drain.

  3. Sauté: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.

  4. Cook beans: Add green beans and sauté 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.

  5. Add egg yolks: Lower heat. Create small wells and gently add egg yolks. Cover and cook 2–3 minutes until yolks are slightly set but still creamy.

  6. Season & serve: Add salt, pepper, lemon juice, or cheese if desired. Serve warm.

Tips

  • ✔️ For more protein, use whole eggs instead of only yolks.

  • ✔️ Add chopped onions or mushrooms for extra fiber.

  • ✔️ Sprinkle flaxseeds or chia seeds for added blood-sugar support.

  • ✔️ Avoid overcooking beans to preserve nutrients.
