Ingredients
Fried Egg with Spinach
Rinse spinach, shake dry, trim and blanch in a pot of boiling salted water. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain again. Rinse scallions, trim and cut into rings.
Peel garlic, chop finely and sauté in a large saucepan with 3 tablespoons oil. Add scallions. Add spinach, sauté briefly and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg.
Melt butter in a large frying pan, break eggs into it, fry as desired for fried eggs and season with salt and paprika. To serve, arrange spinach mixture on plates, place 1 fried egg on top and serve immediately.

Healthy, because
Leaf for leaf a healthy treat: spinach is not only a culinary delight, but also has an impressive folate (folic acid) content. Folic acid belongs to the group of B vitamins and is immensely important, especially for women who want to have children and pregnant women, because it has been proven to prevent so-called neural tube defects (malformations) in the unborn child. However, the pregnancy vitamin is quite "sensitive" and can easily be lost in heat and light. So the short cooking time is just right!
Even smarter
A perfectly fried fried egg is a must for this classic. With these tips it is guaranteed to succeed: Melt some butter in a non-stick frying pan. This way you can easily remove the egg from the pan later. Break the egg in the middle of one edge and let it slide carefully into the hot fat. Add a little salt and pepper, fried on one or both sides - we leave that to your taste!
