You need

To buy

  • 4 ounces fresh spinach or greens

From your shelf

  • 1 cup [100g] Italian bread crumbs

Staples

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic
  • to taste salt
  • to taste pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 2 eggs

  1. Mince 2 cloves garlic. Heat 3 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming, then add 1 cup bread crumbs and the garlic, stirring often, until the crumbs are golden brown and smell toasted, about 4 minutes.
  2. Push the bread crumbs to the side of the pan, add 4 ounces fresh spinach or greens, and stir until wilted, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Wipe the pan clean, add 1 tablespoon oil, and crack 2 eggs into it. Fry over medium heat until the whites set but the yolks stay soft, about 3 minutes, or cook them longer if you prefer. Slide the eggs onto the greens and bread crumbs.

Note Swap canned white beans or cooked lentils for greens if you have them, stirring them in to warm through. Leftovers keep two days, eaten cold or reheated gently. Serve with a simple salad or with hot sauce on the side.
