Ingredients

  • large  egg
  • slice  of your favorite hearty bread
  • ounces  baby spinach
  • pat  butter
  • tablespoon  minced shallot or white onion
  • tablespoon  heavy cream
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • teaspoon  smooth Dijon mustard
  • tablespoon  crumbled cheese, such as goat cheese or feta

Instructions

  • Spinach, shallot and smashed egg toastPrep time ~ 3 minutesBring small pot of water to boil. Lower egg into it and boil for five minutes. Rinse egg briefly under cool water and set aside.
  • Wash your spinach but no need to dry it. Put a small puddle of water in the bottom of a skillet and heat it over medium-high. Once the water is simmering, add the spinach and cook it until it is just wilted, and not a moment longer. Transfer it to a colander and press as much of the excess water out with the back of a fork as possible. No need to wring it out here; we’re hoping to those lovely wilted leaves intact. Keep that fork; you’ll use it again in a moment.
  • Put your bread in to toast.
  • Dry your skillet if it is still wet. Heat a pat of butter in it over medium-low heat. Add shallots and cook them for a few minutes, until translucent and a little sweet. Return spinach to skillet and add cream. Simmer them together for one minute, then season with salt and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Put your toast on your plate and spread it thinly with Dijon mustard. Heap the spinach-and-shallot mixture on top, then add the crumbled cheese. Peel your egg; doing so under running water can make this easier. Once peeled, place it on your spinach toast, smash it open with the back of that fork you used a minute ago, and sprinkle it with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Eat immediately.
