Spinach and eggs

Sally Bee's delicious spinach and eggs recipe is on the Vow to Wow plan as healthy breakfast option.

Sally says: "Although many people think you can't eat eggs on a diet, this is an old wives' tale - doctors now recommend that an egg a day will give you essential healthy proteins, so you can enjoy this every day!"

Ingredients

Serves 1-2

2 large eggs2 slices of wholemeal, nutty bread1 tbsp olive oil1 garlic clove, peeled and crushed 1 tsp lemon juice200g (7oz) spinachFreshly ground black pepper

Method

  • Break both the eggs onto a plate being careful not to break the yolks

  • Bring a pan of water to a rolling boil and carefully slide the eggs in. Place a lid on the pan and turn the heat off. Leave the eggs to cook in the hot water for 3 minutes.

  • Meanwhile, make your toast and warm the olive oil in a saucepan over a medium heat. Add the crushed garlic and lemon juice.

  • Use a slotted spoon to remove the poached ages and set them aside on a plate

  • Now, quickly add the washed spinach to the warm olive oil and lemon juice, stir well and heat through for 1–2 minutes or until the spinach was wilted

  • To serve, place a bed of spinach onto each slice of toast, pop the poached egg on top and sprinkle with freshly ground black pepper
