How do you make these Eggs with Spinach?

It’s a pretty simple recipe with no big tricks, so you can’t help but love it!

All you really need to do is sauté the spinach in a pan, with a little olive oil. Then open the eggs on the bed of spinach, to make a kind of poached egg.

Sprinkle with salt and finally a touch of fresh herbs. In this case I used coriander, but use whatever herbs you like best.

For this recipe you’ll need:

• Eggs
• Spinach
• Olive oil
• Salt
• Coriander (or other fresh herbs)

What are the tricks to getting these Eggs with Spinach right?

1. Start by sautéing the spinach, so that it is lightly cooked and the eggs are not destroyed.
2. Use only a drizzle of olive oil, since the spinach releases a lot of water and helps to cook the eggs. This makes the recipe even healthier.
3. Open the eggs on top of the spinach, so that they cook with the steam and with the water coming off the spinach. This way you are only poaching the eggs, not frying them. They become super velvety and, again, healthier.
4. Once you put the eggs in, don’t scramble them. Just let them stand, so that the yolk is just right, without being destroyed.
