Step-by-Step Breakfast Preparation

During the follicular phase, foods rich in natural fertility boosters, like beef, lentils, and healthy fats, are your best friends! They help replenish energy and balance hormones, setting you up for success as your body prepares for ovulation.

  1. Heat the stew: Transfer your leftover stew into a frying pan and heat on high until it’s warmed through completely. Allow some of the liquid to evaporate, making the consistency thicker.

  2. Add the eggs: Once the stew is hot, crack the eggs directly on top. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan with a lid, and cook for about 5 minutes or until the eggs are cooked to your liking.

  3. Prepare the drizzle: While the eggs cook, mix the flaxseed oil, lime juice, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small cup. Stir well.

  4. Garnish and serve: Drizzle the lime and flaxseed mixture over the cooked eggs and stew. Sprinkle generously with parsley and serve hot.


Tips and Variations


  • Replace the parsley with any herb you love—think coriander, chives, or basil; go for it! 

  • Sprinkle sunflower seeds on top for an extra dose of nutrients and texture.

  • If you don’t have any lime in the fridge, a splash of lemon juice works just as well.
