This is one of my favorite quick weeknight dinners because it comes together in less than an hour and costs almost nothing. I love grilling the eggs until the whites are set but the yolks stay runny, then piling them onto a bed of fresh pea shoots. Those tender little greens are packed with vitamins and minerals that make you feel like you're actually eating something good for you. The whole dish comes together beautifully with just a squeeze of lemon and a pinch of red pepper flakes. It's simple, elegant, and honestly, it never fails to impress.
