Serves 4

Ingredients

Olive oil
2 tablespoons
Garlic
2 cloves, minced
Mushrooms
8 ounces, sliced
Fresh spinach
4 cups, packed
Salt
to taste
Black pepper
to taste
Vinegar
1 tablespoon (white or apple cider)
Eggs
4 large

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
  2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
  3. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are browned and tender.
  4. Stir in the fresh spinach and continue to cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season the mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Meanwhile, fill a separate pot with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Add the vinegar to the water to help the egg whites coagulate.
  6. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide them one at a time into the simmering water.
  7. Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks remain runny. Adjust the cooking time for firmer yolks if desired.
  8. Using a slotted spoon, carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and drain them on a paper towel.
  9. To serve, place a generous portion of the sautéed spinach and mushrooms on each plate, and top with a poached egg. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.

Tips

  • 💡 For a variation, add cheese such as feta or goat cheese on top of the spinach before placing the poached egg.
  • 💡 You can also incorporate additional vegetables like tomatoes or bell peppers for extra flavor and nutrients.
  • 💡 Serve with crusty whole-grain bread or an English muffin to soak up the delicious runny yolk.
