Directions

• Step 1

• Step 2

  Slice the sweet onion and heat olive oil on stove top on medium-low heat. add sliced sweet onions, salt lightly and heat until onions begin to sweat. Keep on heat, stirring occasionally for roughly 10-15 minutes or until carmelized to a golden brown.

• Step 3

  Heat olive oil on high heat, add chopped garlic, halved sweet tomatoes and stir until the tomato seeds have become “thick”, add the spinach until fully wilted and set pot aside

• Step 4

  Spray 12, 4 oz jelly jars or whatever containers you have with olive oil and brush the entire inside until coated evenly

• Step 5

  Pour the blended egg base into each jar (if pepper has settled, pulse in blender again until evenly incorporated).

• Step 6

  Add chopped protein, carmelized onions, and spinach tomato in each container on top of the egg base

  Step 7
