Ingredients (makes 1 serving)
- 100 g frozen spinach, thawed and drained (3.5 oz)
- 1 tbsp ghee, lard or duck fat (15 ml)
- 3 large eggs
- sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 slices smoked salmon (85 g/ 3 oz)
- 1 tbsp chopped chives or spring onion
- 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (15 ml)
Instructions
- Squeeze out all the excess water from the spinach. (You should end up with just about 43 g/ 1.5 oz drained spinach per serving.)
- In a bowl, lightly beat the eggs with salt and pepper until just combined. Chop the drained spinach and set aside.
- Pour in the eggs and swirl the pan to coat the bottom. Using a wooden spoon or a rubber spatula, gently push the edges into the middle of the pan. The uncooked runny eggs should spill out and coat the base of the pan.
- After just about a minute, add the chopped spinach. Cook until the eggs are just set, and then remove from heat.
- To serve, place the eggs on a plate and add the smoked salmon. Sprinkle with chives and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.
