Perfectly Poached Eggs with Wilted Spinach

Medium
There is a quiet joy in a perfectly poached egg, its velvet yolk ready to enrich a bed of tender, garlic-kissed spinach. It is a humble, nourishing breakfast that turns simple ingredients into a sophisticated morning ritual.
This dish features a molten-yolk poached egg resting on a bed of fresh, nutrient-dense spinach sautéed with a whisper of garlic and olive oil. It is high in protein, gluten-free, and takes less than 15 minutes to prepare.
Use the freshest eggs you can find. Fresh whites hold their shape in the water, resulting in a clean, tight poached egg without messy straggly bits.

Yes. Poach them for 3 minutes, then store in a bowl of ice water in the fridge. Reheat in warm water for 60 seconds before serving.
The acidity of the vinegar helps the egg whites set faster, keeping them compact around the yolk.
It pairs beautifully with a slice of toasted sourdough or a side of sliced avocado for healthy fats.
