Make
-
Heat a non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add in pancetta and sundried tomatoes and saute until pancetta is crispy on the outside, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove from pan and set aside.
-
While pancetta and tomatoes are cooking, place broccoli in a microwave-safe container. Cover with a wet paper towel and microwave for 2 ½ to 3 minutes, until broccoli is tender but still crunchy. Finish with lemon juice, plus some salt and pepper. You can also drizzle on some good olive oil (not listed in ingredient list).
-
Return frying pan to stove, lower heat to medium, and add butter. Once butter is melted, pour in whisked eggs and scramble until you get the consistency you want.
-
Portion out eggs and top with pancetta, sundried tomatoes, and spinach-artichoke sauce (reserve half if doubled). Enjoy with broccoli on the side (and feel free to use sauce on broccoli, too).
