Super Healthy Sunday Breakfast – Poached Egg, Smoked Salmon, Grilled Tomatoes, Spinach & Pine Nuts

Posted in Breakfast is Key!, The Healthy Kitchen by

What a great way to start the day with this super healthy sunday brekkie. It beats boring oats any day, and although it takes a little longer Super breakfastto prepare, it’s truly delicious.

I’m a huge fan of Poached Eggs, but I must admit, it’s been a bumpy ride learning how to make them! I’ve realised that the key to great poached eggs is the pan you use. I find that a small saucepan with boiling water works best. When the water is boiling, crack in the eggs ,  allow to cook and remove with a slotted spoon to drain the water. Poached eggs are great as they only take a couple of minutes, and obviously they’re much healthier than the fried alternative.

Ingredients (Serves 1):

2 Eggs

1 Tomato, chopped

Handful pine nuts / pumpkin seeds

Smoked salmon slice

Salt & peper

Handful spinach

Step 1: Chop the tomatoes & grill for 5-7 minutes. In the meantime, heat a small saucepan with a small amount of water (for the spinach – saucepan #1)

Step 2: Using another small saucepan (saucepan #2, half-filled with water), heat water until boiling.

Step 3: Add the spinach to the saucepan #1. Prepare your plate with smoked salmon.

Step 4: When the water in saucepan #2 is boiling, crack in your eggs.

Step 5: Take your tomatoes out of the oven & place onto plate. Sprinkle nuts on top.

Step 6: By now your spinach should be soft and the poached eggs should be ready.

Step 7: Serve your spinach on top of the smoked salmon, remove your poached eggs with a slotted spoon and place on top. Season with salt & pepper.

Enjoy your super healthy sunday breakfast!!!
