    A savory way to enjoy omega-3 eggs. The juiciness of the tomatoes makes this feel like an indulgent breakfast, but it takes only minutes to prepare. Cooking tomatoes in a little healthy oil enhances their nutritional value and increases the availability of their potent cancer-fighting lycopene.
    3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
12 garlic cloves, chopped
6 large eggs, beaten
1 (16-ounce) can chopped plum tomatoes, undrained
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium, gluten-free tamari
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup cooked black rice
6 cups baby spinach, pre-steamed
    1. Heat the oil in a large nonstick pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and cook until aromatic, 1–2 minutes.
    2. Pour the eggs into the pan and cook them, undisturbed, until no egg liquid remains. This takes about 1–2 minutes. Flip the omelet over carefully and cook the other side for 1–2 minutes. When cooked through, use a spatula to cut the omelet into 2-inch pieces.
    3. Pour the tomatoes, along with their juices, over the eggs and add the sesame oil, tamari, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer the eggs in the sauce for 10 minutes.
    4. Remove the pan from the heat and serve the eggs and tomatoes over black rice with steamed spinach on the side. Leftover eggs can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
