Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 links sausage (preferably bratwurst or your favorite sausage)
- 300 grams baby spinach
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg (optional)
- 1 small onion
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sausages and cook for 8-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are browned and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and set aside, keeping them warm.
Mince the garlic and finely chop the onion. In the same skillet, heat another tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened. Add the garlic and cook for an additional minute.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet in batches, stirring to wilt it down. Once all the spinach has been added and wilted, stir in 1 tablespoon of butter, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg if using. Cook for another 2-3 minutes until the spinach is fully cooked. Remove from heat and cover to keep warm.
In a separate non-stick pan, heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-low heat. Crack the eggs into the pan, one at a time, and cook sunny-side up or to your desired doneness. Sprinkle each egg with a small pinch of salt and pepper.
To assemble, place a generous portion of spinach on each plate, top with a cooked sausage, and finish with a fried egg on top. If desired, drizzle a little warm milk over the spinach for added creaminess.
Serve immediately with crusty bread or your favorite side dish.
