Warm bitter greens with eggs and crisp toast
A bowl of wilted mixed greens topped with a warm egg makes for weeknight dinner when you're short on time and fresh greens need using. The heat brings out the sweet notes in the baby lettuces while the mustard greens and radicchio keep their subtle bite. Serve with good bread to soak up the yolk.

To buy
- 2 slices bread for toasting
From your shelf
- 5 ounces [140 grams] spring mix, baby lettuce, baby greens & radicchio blend
Staples
- 3 tablespoons oil
- to taste salt
- to taste pepper
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 eggs
- Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toast 2 slices of bread in a toaster or under the broiler until golden and crisp, then set aside.
- When the oil shimmers, add the entire 5 ounces of greens to the pan in handfuls, stirring until each addition wilts before adding more, about three minutes total. Season with salt and pepper.
- Clear two small spaces in the greens and crack 1 egg into each space. Dot each egg with half a tablespoon of butter. Cover the pan and reduce heat to medium-low.
- Cook until the egg whites are set but the yolks remain soft, about three minutes. Divide the greens and eggs between two bowls and serve with the crisp toast on the side.
Note Swap the eggs for crispy chickpeas if you want protein without the yolk. Leftovers keep one day; rewarm gently. Serve with a glass of white wine or a light salad on the side to stretch the meal.
