Savory Toast with Poached Egg and Spinach

Instructions

1. 1

   **Toast the Bread**: Start by toasting the slices of bread to your preferred level of crispiness.

2. 2

   **Sauté the Spinach**: In a medium skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the fresh spinach and sauté for about 2-3 minutes or until wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste—keep it vibrant!

3. 3

   **Poach the Eggs**: Fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a gentle simmer. Crack each egg into a small bowl, then gently slide it into the simmering water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes for a soft yolk or longer if you prefer it harder. Remove with a slotted spoon and let drain on paper towels.

4. 4

   **Assemble**: Place the sautéed spinach on toasted bread, then top with the poached egg. Season with extra salt, pepper, and a pinch of red pepper flakes for some added heat if desired.

5. 5

   **Serve**: Optionally, squeeze a bit of lemon juice over the top for brightness and serve immediately.
