Ingredients
Preparation
Step 1
Prepare the Spinach
Heat a small pan over medium heat.
Add a tiny bit of olive oil or a quick spray (optional).
Add spinach and sauté 1–2 minutes until just wilted.
Season lightly with salt & pepper.
Set aside.
Step 2
Toast the English Muffin
Split the English muffin.
Toast to your preferred level of crispiness.
Step 3
Poach the Eggs
Bring a small pot of water to a gentle simmer (not a rolling boil).
Add a splash of vinegar (optional — helps the whites set).
Crack each egg into a small bowl.
Create a gentle swirl in the water, then slowly slide in one egg.
Cook 3–4 minutes for a soft yolk, 5 minutes for firmer.
Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel.
Repeat with the second egg.
Build the Meal
Place the sautéed spinach on top of the toasted English muffin.
Add the two poached eggs.
Sprinkle with salt & pepper.
Enjoy warm!
