Poached Eggs with Spinach & Goat Cheese

Spinach is rich in vitamins A, K, and C, known for their immune-boosting effects. Similar to its less-known "cousin," mangold, it is also rich in minerals, containing phosphorus, potassium, calcium, iron, zinc, and magnesium. It has a high chlorophyll content and is a good source of folate necessary for blood formation. Flaxseed is also mineral-rich, with phosphorus, manganese, magnesium, and selenium, benefiting the brain and strengthening the immune system. Additionally, it provides plant-based fiber, protein, and Omega-3 fatty acids, supporting both the brain and heart.

Ingredients:

  • 4 eggs
  • 500g spinach
  • 100g goat cheese
  • 1/2 tablespoon flaxseed or ghee or grape seed oil
  • Sea salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • Zest of 1/2 lemon
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 1 teaspoon vinegar

Instructions:

1. Preparation:

Clean the spinach, remove the stems and veins, and tear into smaller pieces.

Slice the garlic thinly.

Grate the lemon zest.

2. Eggs:

Boil about 3 liters of water in a wide saucepan for poaching the eggs. Ensure that the water doesn't boil but simmers with gentle bubbles. Create a vortex by stirring the water with a spoon while gently placing the eggs into it from a coffee mug.

Crack the eggs one by one into the simmering, slightly vinegary water. Remove from heat and let the eggs sit in the hot water for 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk.

Lift the poached eggs out of the water with a slotted spoon and let them drain.

3. Spinach:

While the eggs are cooking, prepare the spinach. Toss it in a pan with a little fat, add lemon zest and juice, garlic slices, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until done.

‍

4. Serve:

When ready to serve, season the poached eggs with salt and pepper.
