This very simple and savory, aromatic egg dish made with oregano, sage, parsley, mint and lavender will have you jumping out of bed at the crack of dawn just to have it again.
I raise my own lectin-free eggs by feeding my chickens grass clippings, snails, worms, flax seeds, leafy greens and herbs. These eggs have protein, vitamin D3 and Omega-3 fatty acids to kick start the day.
You can use any herbs you have around, but I especially like lavender in my eggs. It gives them a Provencal flavor and adds beautiful color to the dish.
Herbs have amazing benefits. Use sage for brain function and memory, mint for digestion, parsley to reduce cancer risk and lavender to calm nerves.
