Ingredients

  • 30 ml oil
  • 1 small onion chopped
  • 1 clove of garlic grated or crushed
  • 1 teaspoon chilli powder optional
  • 3 medium potatoes fried and drained
  • 250 g brown or white button mushrooms
  • 100 g chopped spinach
  • small red bell pepper cubed
  • 4 eggs
  • 10 g grated parmesan
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Deep fry potatoes and drain on paper towels. Set aside.
  • Heat 30 ml oil in a pan on medium heat.
  • Saute onions and garlic and cook for 5 minutes. Add in the chopped mushrooms and pepper and cook for 5 minutes until softened. Chop the spinach roughly and stir it in with the mushrooms and pepper. Cook until the spinach has wilted, about 5 minutes. You can cook it longer if you prefer the spinach to be softer and not so crispy. Add chilli powder if using. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Put in the fried drained potatoes and mix in gently to avoid breaking the potatoes too much.
  • Crack eggs over cooked vegetables and cook until just set.
  • If you prefer the yolks runny, then cook until the whites are set. Or if you prefer well done eggs then just turn down the heat a bit and cook with the pan covered and cook to your preference. Sprinkle with grated parmesan and freshly ground black pepper.
  • Serve warm with buttered french bread
