Ingredients

  • 3 eggs

  • 1 cup spinach (rinsed)

  • 1/2 onion (finely chopped)

  • 1/4 cup mushrooms (finely chopped)

  • 1 tbsp butter

  • 1 tbsp oil

  • 2 tsp flour

  • 1/2 cup milk

  • salt to taste

  • red chilli flakes

Directions

  • Heat oil and butter in a pan.
  • Add the onions and sauté until translucent.
  • Add mushrooms and cook for a few minutes.
  • Add spinach and cook till wilted.
  • Add flour and stir.
  • Add milk and simmer for a bit to thicken slightly (so that it’s no longer watery, but not too dry). Season with salt and stir well.
  • Using a spoon make three pockets in the mixture and add an egg in each pocket.
  • Cover and cook on low for 1-2 mins.
  • The eggs should be just cooked (whites solid but yolks still runny). The sauce should be thick.
  • Sprinkle with red chilli flakes.
  • Serve with a nice sourdough bread.
