Ingredients

  • 1 tbs Vital Farms Grass Fed butter
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 2 celery stalks, finely diced
  • 1 carrot, finely diced
  • 2 cups fresh spinach
  • 1 cup black beans, rinsed drained and mashed with 1 tbs of water
  • 5 scallions including tops, chopped
  • 1/3 cup plain unsweetened raw yogurt
  • 1 cup raw jack cheese or vegan cheese
  • 4 Vital Farms pasture raised eggs
  • 1/2 cup homemade salsa
  • 1 cup mashed avocados or guacamole
  • 1/8 tsp black pepper

Toppings

  • salsa
  • raw yogurt
  • scallion greens
  • avocado

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°.  

  2. In an oven-safe dutch oven or small skillet, preheat on the stove and add butter. Add onion, carrot, and celery.  Cook for 5-7 minutes until tender and onions are translucent.  

  3. Stir in fresh spinach, cook until just wilted. 

  4. In the same pan, add mashed black beans.  (I mash them with a fork adding a little water to make them smooth.  You can also use a food processor to blend them.) Mix well with spinach mixture. 

  5. Add half of the scallions as a layer.  

  6. Top with raw yogurt and then cheese. 

  7. Make 4 indentations in the mixture (I call them wells).  Break one egg into each well. Spoon fresh salsa on top of the entire mixture.  

  8. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes or until eggs are set.  Meaning the egg whites will be solid. 

  9. When you are ready to serve, spoon on the mashed avocados and the remainder of the scallions.  

  10. Serve with the option of hot corn tortillas, salsa, squeeze of lime or more avocado!
