Description

A simple and satisfying Boiled Egg and Spinach Toast made with fresh spinach, apple cider vinegar, olive oil, and clean ingredient whole grain or sourdough style bread. Warm greens paired with a tender egg create a balanced and comforting meal.

Ingredients

1 teaspoon olive oil

1 large handful fresh spinach

Freshly grated nutmeg

1 egg

A splash of apple cider vinegar

Sea salt

Black pepper

1 slice alcohol free wholemeal or sourdough style bread such as Dave’s Killer Bread, Pepperidge Farm whole grain, or Silver Hills Sprouted Bakery

Instructions

2. Heat olive oil in a pan over medium heat and add fresh spinach along with a little nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Cover and cook on low for one to two minutes until wilted.

3. Bring a pot of water to a gentle simmer and add a small splash of apple cider vinegar. Crack the egg into a small bowl then slide it carefully into the simmering water.

4. Cook the egg for two to three minutes or until it reaches your preferred texture.

5. Toast the bread until golden and crisp.

6. Place the warm spinach on top of the toasted bread and gently set the poached egg over it.

7. Season with salt and pepper and serve warm.

Notes

Use gentle heat when poaching the egg to keep the whites tender and smooth.

A small splash of apple cider vinegar helps the egg hold its shape.

Pat the spinach lightly with a paper towel after cooking to prevent the toast from becoming soggy.

Whole grain or sourdough style bread supports the toppings and adds flavor.

Enjoy the toast immediately for the best texture.
