Poached Eggs with Avocado & Spinach
This simple paleo breakfast recipe combines eggs with avocado and spinach, to make a hearty, warming start to the day. You can prepare this from scratch in about 10 minutes, making it ideal for a busy morning when you want to eat something substantial but you only have 10 minutes to spend prepping and cooking.
Although this breakfast can include some kind of paleo-friendly cracker or ‘bread’ it is also nice served without. Eggs only take a couple of minutes to poach, and you will be able to see them change from clear to white in the cooking water.
This recipe makes one serving but it is very easy to double or triple it if you wish. Serve the dish with a bowl of fresh berries on the side to round out the meal, and perhaps some fruit juice as well. This is a meat-free meal but if you want to serve some steak, sausage or another favorite with it, start cooking that before the eggs since the cooking time will be longer.
What You Need:
2 free-range eggs
1 avocado
Handful of baby spinach leaves
Salt and black pepper, to taste
How to Make It:
Bring a pan of water to a boil. Now add a pinch of salt. Crack one of the eggs into a cup, then gently pour it into the water. Repeat with the other egg. You will be able to see the eggs change from clear to white as they cook. Give the poached eggs 2 minutes for soft, 3 minutes for medium or 4 minutes for firm, depending how you liked them.
While they are cooking you can peel the avocado and cut it into slices. Arrange the baby spinach leaves on a plate and top with the avocado slices, and finally the poached eggs, using a slotted spoon to remove them from the cooking water. Grind some salt and black pepper on top and serve.
