Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the spinach thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or grit.
- In a medium-sized skillet over medium heat, add a splash of water and the spinach.
- Cook, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted and tender, about 2-3 minutes.
- Remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Fill a medium-sized saucepan with water up to about 2-3 inches deep and bring it to a gentle boil.
- Add 1/2 teaspoon of salt to the water.
- Crack each egg into a small bowl or cup.
- Use a spoon to create a gentle whirlpool in the boiling water. Carefully slide each egg into the center of the whirlpool one at a time.
- Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny. Adjust time as needed for your preferred doneness.
- Use a slotted spoon to carefully remove the poached eggs from the water and place them on a paper towel to drain.
- Toast the whole-wheat bread slices using a toaster or an oven until they are golden brown and crisp.
- Place the toasted bread slices on a serving plate.
- Evenly layer 2 slices of ham on each piece of toast.
- Add a portion of the wilted spinach on top of the ham.
- Place a poached egg gently on top of the spinach on each toast.
- Drizzle about 2 teaspoons of mayonnaise salad dressing over each poached egg and the assembled toast.
- Lightly season with the remaining salt if desired.
- Serve the ham and spinach toast with poached eggs immediately while everything is hot.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal!
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it well to avoid excess moisture.
- For perfectly poached eggs, use eggs that are as fresh as possible. Fresh eggs have firmer whites, which hold their shape better during poaching.
- Toast the bread slices to your preferred level of crispiness before assembling the toast.
- You can customize the mayonnaise dressing by adding a squeeze of lemon juice or a pinch of herbs and spices to enhance the flavor.
- If you prefer a lighter option, you can use whole-grain or gluten-free bread based on your dietary requirements.
There you have it! A delightful and wholesome Ham and Spinach Toast with Poached Eggs and Mayonnaise Dressing. This recipe is not only easy to make but also packed with flavors and nutrients to kickstart your day. Enjoy your meal!
