Egg Spinach Toast: A Delicious and Nutritious Breakfast Recipe

Enjoy a nutritious Egg Spinach Toast featuring sautéed spinach and fluffy scrambled eggs on crispy whole grain bread. This wholesome dish is perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner, and can be customized with various toppings for added flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 slices of whole grain bread
  • 2 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
  • Red pepper flakes (optional, for a kick)
  • Fresh herbs (like parsley or chives) for garnish

Instructions

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  2. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add chopped spinach, stirring to coat in the oil. Cook for 2-3 minutes until wilted.
  4. Season with salt and black pepper. If using, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over the spinach and stir until melted.
  5. In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk until combined. Add a pinch of salt and pepper.
  6. Push the spinach to one side of the skillet and pour the eggs into the empty side. Cook undisturbed for 1-2 minutes until edges start to set.
  7. Gently stir the eggs, folding them over themselves, and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until just set but slightly runny in the center.
  8. While the eggs are cooking, toast the bread. Use a toaster or a skillet with a little olive oil or butter until golden brown and crispy. Alternatively, toast in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 5-7 minutes, flipping halfway.
  9. Place each slice of toast on a plate. Spoon a generous amount of the spinach and egg mixture onto each slice.
  10. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes if desired, and garnish with fresh herbs.
  11. Serve immediately while warm, paired with fresh fruit or a light salad. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days, reheating gently before serving.

Notes

  • Customize the recipe by adding diced tomatoes, avocado slices, or crumbled feta cheese.
  • For a vegan option, substitute eggs with scrambled tofu and use nutritional yeast instead of Parmesan cheese.
  • Experiment with different types of bread, such as sourdough or rye.
