Ingredients

  • 4 eggs at room temperature
  • 80 ml reduced fat milk (2 1/2 floz/ 1/3 cup)
  • ground black pepper
  • 1 tbsp fresh chives thinly sliced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill finely chopped
  • 100 g smoked salmon (3 1/2 oz), chopped
  • 30 g baby spinach leaves 30g (1 oz), chopped
  • 2 slices low GI grainy bread

Method

  • Whisk together the eggs, milk, pepper, chives and dill in a small bowl.
  • Heat a large non-stick frying pan over medium heat.
  • Add the egg mixture and cook for about 30 seconds, or until the eggs start to set around the edges. Using a wooden spatula, gently fold the eggs over, then repeat the folding process until the eggs are just cooked. The eggs should be quite soft.
  • Gently stir in the salmon and spinach until the salmon is heated through and the spinach is wilted. Serve the eggs on toasted grainy bread.

COOK’S TIP: One of the most important changes you can make to lower the GI of your diet is to choose a low GI bread. Choose a grainy bread, pumpernickel bread, sourdough or a stoneground wholemeal bread.

A low GI diet focuses on the quality of carbohydrates you eat. Good carbohydrates (or low GI carbohydrates) are more slowly digested helping keep your blood sugars stable, whereas bad carbohydrates cause your blood glucose levels to peak and crash.
