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
Directions
Step 1
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add olive oil and butter until melted and shimmering.
Step 2
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).
Step 3
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.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the garlic (minced), red pepper flakes, and a pinch of salt. Cook for 30 seconds to release the aroma.
Step 5
Add the spinach or mixed greens to the skillet and toss continuously for 1-2 minutes until just wilted.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
Enjoy immediately!
