KETO RECIPE: Cheesy Egg and Spinach Nest 

Cheesy egg nests are one of the easiest but most visually impressive breakfasts you can make. In the skillet, surround a couple of sunny-side-up eggs with cheese to combine a crispy cheese edge with a gooey egg yolk. I’ve topped the nest with avocado, spinach, and Parmesan cheese for a delicious mixture of flavor and texture.
