Ingredients
It’s this easy
- Coat 2 microwave egg poachers and ramekin dishes (small bowls) with a small amount of olive oil using a paper towel or pastry brush.
- Add the mushrooms to the ramekin dishes with a small amount of pepper (optional) and remaining olive oil. Cook uncovered on high in microwave for 2.5 minutes, add spinach and cook for a further 30 seconds. Cover and set aside
- Crack the eggs into the greased egg poachers, pierce the yolk with a fork or toothpick. Cover with a wet piece of paper towel and microwave on low setting (30%) for 4 minutes or until the whites are set
- Place eggs on a plate with toast, mushrooms and spinach
Tweaks
- Add some avocado and a squeeze of lemon juice for extra flavour
