Ingredients

• Eggs - 4 large
• Fresh Thai basil leaves - 30 grams
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Coconut oil - 1 tablespoon
• Soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free) - 1 tablespoon
• Chili flakes - 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste)
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Lime wedges - for serving

Steps

1. Heat the coconut oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot.
2. Add the minced garlic and chili flakes to the skillet, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Crack the eggs into the skillet, being careful not to break the yolks. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny.
