Categories     Egg     Tomato     Spinach     Boil

Yield serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 large eggs
1 tablespoon olive oil
16 grape tomatoes, halved crosswise
1 teaspoon coarse salt
Freshly ground pepper
8 ounces baby or regular spinach, tough stems discarded (about 16 cups)
1 garlic clove
2 tablespoons distilled white vinegar
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives

Steps:

  • Fill a large, shallow, straight-sided pan with 2 inches water. Bring to a boil. Break each egg into a small ramekin.
  • Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the tomatoes; cook, stirring, until they start to break down, about 5 minutes. Add the salt; season with pepper. Transfer to a plate; tent with foil to keep warm. Add the spinach and garlic to the skillet; cook, stirring, until the spinach has just wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Discard the garlic.
  • When the water is boiling, add the vinegar; turn off heat. Using tongs, tilt the ramekins in the pan, and slide the eggs into the water. Cover; let stand until the whites are opaque and the yolks are cooked as desired, 2 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to put the eggs on paper towels to drain. Trim the whites, if desired.
  • Divide the spinach among 4 plates; lay 1 poached egg and 8 tomato halves on top. Season with pepper; sprinkle each serving with 3/4 teaspoon chives.
  • Notes
  • Partially cooked eggs should not be prepared for pregnant women, babies, young children, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.
