This is the kind of breakfast that makes you feel like you’ve got your life together, even if you’re eating it in your pajamas.

The runny yolk becomes the sauce, mixing with the garlicky vegetables for bites that are rich and satisfying without being heavy.

High in protein and vegetables, low in fuss and cleanup.

Pro Tips

  • Chop garlic and let it sit 5 minutes before cooking to maximize health benefits
  • Keep the water at a gentle simmer, not a rolling boil, for tender egg whites
  • Remove excess water from thawed spinach by squeezing in a kitchen towel
  • Use a slotted spoon to gently lift poached eggs without breaking the yolk
  • Serve on toasted whole grain bread or with roasted potatoes for a heartier meal
