Time 5m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 tablespoon olive oil + 1 teaspoons olive oil (divided)
2 cups baby spinach
Pinch kosher salt & freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup cooked/canned chickpeas (garbanzo beans, drained)
2 teaspoons lemon zest
1 egg
Lemon juice

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add the spinach along with a pinch of salt and pepper and saute, stirring occasionally, until wilted, about 1 minute.
  • Add chickpeas and lemon zest. Carefully smash the chickpeas with a fork while combining the ingredients.
  • With a wooden spoon, shape the mixture into a "wreath" with a hole in the middle. Drizzle the remaining teaspoon of olive oil into the hole, and then crack the egg into the hole.
  • Cover pan with a lid and cook until egg has cooked through to desired doneness (for me, that's about 3 minutes).
  • Use a large spatula to transfer the egg and "nest" to a plate. Some of the edges of the nest may fall off; just put it back into position on the plate.
  • Top egg with a little additional salt and pepper, if desired, and squeeze a little fresh lemon juice over the top. Serve.

This dish was a bit too tangy for my taste, but I think that's just a personal preference. The spinach and chickpea nest was delicious, and the egg was cooked perfectly. I might try making this again with a different sauce.

Overall, this was a good dish. The spinach and chickpea nest was crispy and flavorful, and the egg was cooked perfectly. However, I found the lemon sauce to be a bit too overpowering. I think it would be better with a more subtle sauce.

This dish was a delight to make and even better to eat! The combination of flavors and textures was perfect. The creamy egg yolk, the tangy lemon sauce, the crispy spinach and chickpea nest - it all came together beautifully. Highly recommend!
