This just might be the easiest French cooking you’ll ever do, and it lends new interest to good old fried eggs.

Yield: 1 serving, with 2 grams of carbohydrates, virtually no fiber, and 17 grams of protein.

INGREDIENTS 

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 3 eggs
• 1/2 teaspoon lemon juice

INSTRUCTIONS 

1. Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray, put it over medium heat, and melt half of the butter in it.
2. Crack the eggs into the skillet and fry as desired. Remove the eggs to a plate, and keep them warm.

4. Stir in the lemon juice, pour the mixture over the eggs, and serve.
