Spinach is naturally high in iron, vitamin K, C, A, folate and manganese which is vital for the body.

Although I said it was a breakfast idea you could certainly eat this at any time of the day as a healthy balanced meal.

Today’s recipe is poached eggs on a bed of sautéed baby spinach, cherry tomatoes and garlic. I love saying “sautéed”, it sounds so posh.

Honestly though the garlic Sautéed baby spinach was ummm.

It is a low carb high protein recipe. Perfect if you’re trying to limit or cut your complex carbohydrate intake. If not, feel free to add a slice of wholegrain bread or sweet potato. In fact a sweet potato would go really well with this recipe.

Now poaching an egg. Hopefully you have done this before. It isn’t hard and there are various ways to do it. Growing up it was simmering water, a little vinegar and swirl before dropping the egg in. This is great if you want to make one egg.

Here’s the way we have found to work best for us to poach multiple eggs. It allows us to make 4 eggs at a time.

In a large pan, bring water to the boil and then turn it down to a constant simmer. This is when you are ready to cook. There’s no need for vinegar.

With the water still, carefully place each egg into the pan. I usually allow about 10 seconds between each egg drop to allow the water to settle.

Get the egg as close to the water as you can to avoid it dropping in and splitting. I sometimes use a small espresso cup with a handle or a ramekin, crack the egg into that and then use the cup to place the egg in the water. It’s a delicate job. Cook each egg for about 3 minutes.

The more you do it the better you’ll get. Or just fry or scramble your eggs. We want this to be as easy as possible to help you eat better and enjoy nice food.
