Spinach and Parmesan Poached Eggs is a nutritious and delicious breakfast or brunch option that's easy to prepare. This recipe combines the rich flavors of spinach and parmesan with perfectly poached eggs for a satisfying and wholesome meal.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Thaw the frozen spinach and drain any excess water.
- Finely chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
- In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and sauté until it becomes translucent, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Stir in the thawed and drained spinach. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, making sure it’s well combined with the onion and garlic.
- Pour in the vegetable broth and stir.
- Season with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Make two small wells in the spinach mixture with the back of a spoon.
- Carefully crack an egg into each well.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and allow the eggs to poach in the spinach mixture. This should take about 4-5 minutes for a runny yolk, or longer if you prefer a firmer yolk.
- Once the eggs are poached to your desired firmness, sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the top.
- Cover the skillet again for an additional 1-2 minutes until the cheese has melted.
- Carefully divide the spinach and poached eggs between two plates.
- Serve immediately, optionally with toasted bread or a side of your choice.
Tips:
- Ensure the water for poaching the eggs is at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, to keep the eggs from breaking apart.
- Use fresh spinach if available, but make sure to cook it down and remove excess moisture before adding the other ingredients.
- For extra flavor, sauté the onions and garlic until they are golden brown before adding the spinach.
- Gently crack the eggs into a small bowl or ramekin before sliding them into the simmering water to ensure they stay intact.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese over the hot spinach mixture just before adding the poached eggs for a melty, cheesy topping.
With just a few simple ingredients and steps, you can enjoy a delightful Spinach and Parmesan Poached Eggs dish. It's a meal that's not only tasty but also packed with nutrients, making it an excellent choice for a healthy start to your day.
