Prepare the Sauteed Spinach
Start by making the sautéed spinach topping. Heat a pan over medium heat and add about 1 tablespoon of butter. Allow the butter to melt, and then add the chopped spinach. Sprinkle a pinch of salt to taste, but be mindful of the amount, as the butter may already contain some salt. Sauté the spinach until it wilts and the moisture has evaporated. Once done, turn off the heat and set the spinach aside. -
Toast the Bread
Next, place the whole wheat bread slices on a preheated pan over medium heat. Spread a thin layer of butter over each slice. Flip the bread slices to toast them until golden and crisp on both sides. Once done, turn off the heat and set the toasted bread aside. -
Fry the Eggs
In a preheated pan, add a teaspoon of sunflower oil and swirl it to coat the bottom. Crack one egg into the pan, and lower the heat to medium-low. Cover the pan for 10 to 15 seconds to cook the egg whites. If you prefer a firmer yolk, you can leave the pan covered for a little longer. Once the whites are cooked and the yolk is still slightly runny, gently release the egg from the pan edges. Season with salt and freshly crushed black pepper to taste, then set the fried egg aside in the pan. -
Assemble the Toast
To assemble the Spinach Open Toast with Fried Egg, place the toasted bread slices on your serving plate. Spoon the sautéed spinach mixture over the toast and top with slices of fresh tomato. Sprinkle a bit more salt and crushed black pepper, if desired. Carefully place one fried egg on top of each slice of toast. -
Serve and Enjoy!
Serve this delightful breakfast dish with a glass of fresh orange juice for an extra burst of freshness and nutrition. The combination of sautéed spinach, crispy toast, and fried eggs creates the perfect balance of flavors to kickstart your day!
Pro Tip: Feel free to get creative by adding a sprinkle of cheese on top or even a dash of chili flakes for an extra zing.
