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
Prep the beans: Wash and trim green beans. Cut into bite-sized pieces.
Blanch (optional but recommended): Boil for 3–4 minutes until slightly tender, then drain.
Sauté: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook 30 seconds.
Cook beans: Add green beans and sauté 5–7 minutes until tender-crisp.
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.
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.
