Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 8 Tbsp Greek yogurt
  • 2 tsp Tbsp + 2extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4 Tbsp pumpkin seeds
  • 1 tsp + 1/4crushed red pepper flakes
  • 4 cups baby spinach
  • 1 tsp + 1/4sweet smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp + pinch salt
  • 1/4 cup white vinegar
  • 4 organic eggs

Instructions

  • Add 2 Tbsp yogurt to each of 4 serving plates and spread it in a swirl on one half the surface.
  • To large skillet, add 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil, pumpkin seeds, and 1 tsp red pepper flakes. Heat on medium-low heat, stirring constantly. When pumpkin seeds start to pop, reduce to low heat. When pumpkin seeds are golden brown, add spinach, 1 tsp smoked paprika, and 1/4 tsp salt; stir for about 2 minutes, until spinach is wilted. Divide spinach among serving plates, arranging it opposite the yogurt.
  • Set the still-warm saucepan aside, off the heat, and add remaining 1 Tbsp + 1 tsp olive oil, 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp smoked paprika. Continue to rest off the heat to allow flavors to infuse.
  • To poach eggs, in large saucepan, bring water to a simmer over medium-high heat. Add vinegar and pinch of salt. Stir gently and add eggs, one by one, to water. Poach for 2 to 3 minutes, or until eggs float to surface. Using a slotted spoon, gently remove eggs, pat dry with clean kitchen towel, and place on center of each plate. Drizzle 1 tsp red pepper flake-paprika oil over surface of yogurt on each plate and serve.
