Step 1: Prepare Your Ingredients

Before you start cooking, gather and prep your ingredients.

1. Wash the spinach thoroughly to remove any grit. Pat it dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels.
2. Mince the garlic.
3. Set your bread slices aside near your cooking station.

Step 2: Toast the Bread

You can use a toaster or a skillet for this step:

1. If using a toaster, toast the bread until golden and crispy.
2. For a skillet, heat a little butter or olive oil over medium heat. Place the bread slices in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until lightly browned.

Step 3: Sauté the Spinach

1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.
3. Toss in the spinach and cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it’s wilted and bright green.
4. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Remove from heat and set aside.

Step 4: Cook the Eggs

1. Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add a touch of olive oil or butter.
2. Crack the eggs gently into the pan, being careful not to break the yolks.
3. Cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (about 3-4 minutes). If you prefer your yolks fully cooked, cover the pan with a lid for an additional 1-2 minutes.
4. Sprinkle the eggs with a little salt and pepper.

Step 5: Assemble the Toast

Now comes the fun part—assembling your toast!

1. Place the toasted bread on two plates.
2. Divide the sautéed spinach evenly between the slices, spreading it out to cover the surface.
3. Gently place an egg on top of each slice.
4. Add any optional toppings, like a sprinkle of Parmesan or a pinch of chili flakes.
