Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 cups baby spinach or mixed greens
- 1 clove garlic
- 0.25 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter until melted and shimmering.
Crack the eggs into the skillet and season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny (or to your desired doneness).
Drizzle the balsamic vinegar over the eggs and let it sizzle for about 30 seconds to create a glaze. Use a spoon to baste some of the balsamic over the eggs if desired. Carefully transfer the eggs to a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the garlic (minced), red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 30 seconds to release the aroma.
Add the spinach or mixed greens to the skillet and toss continuously for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
Serve the wilted greens on a plate and top with the balsamic fried eggs. Sprinkle additional black pepper or a pinch of red pepper flakes if desired for garnish.
Enjoy immediately!
