Description

A simple and flavorful Spanish hangover breakfast featuring crispy toasted baguette rubbed with garlic and fresh tomatoes, topped with creamy scrambled eggs and sautéed spinach, finished with a drizzle of olive oil and fresh chives.


Ingredients

Scale

Bread and Toppings

  • 1 baguette
  • 3 cloves garlic
  • 2 large ripe tomatoes
  • 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • Sea salt & black pepper (to taste)
  • Handful freshly chopped chives

Eggs and Vegetables

  • 6 cage-free organic eggs
  • 2 cups fresh spinach (60 grams)


Instructions

  1. Toast the Bread: Cut the baguette into 4-inch pieces and then slice each piece in half vertically. Toast each piece for about 3 minutes until crispy and lightly golden.
  2. Prepare the Eggs: Crack the eggs into a large bowl, season with sea salt and black pepper, and whisk until combined.
  3. Sauté Spinach and Cook Eggs: Heat a nonstick fry pan over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. After 2 minutes, add spinach and cook until wilted. Pour in the whisked eggs and let them sit for about 1 minute. Stir every 30 seconds until cooked (about 3 minutes total). Remove from heat.
  4. Prepare the Toasted Bread: Cut the garlic cloves in half and rub them on the toasted baguette pieces. Rub fresh tomatoes over the toast and season with sea salt and a drizzle of olive oil.
  5. Assemble the Dish: Top the toast with scrambled eggs and sprinkle with freshly chopped chives.

Notes

  • Use ripe tomatoes for the best flavor when rubbing onto the toast.
  • Use fresh, cage-free eggs to enhance the taste and quality.
  • Adjust seasoning of eggs and toast to personal preference.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the contrast of warm eggs and crispy toast.
