Ingredients

2 teaspoon olive oil

1 clove garlic, crushed

1 fresh small red thai (serrano) chilli, sliced finely

1/2 small_piece fennel bulb (100g), trimmed, sliced finely

100 gram baby corn, halved

50 gram baby spinach leaves

2 eggs

1 tablespoon finely grated parmesan

2 slice rye sourdough bread (90g), toasted

Method

1.Preheat grill or broiler to high.

2.Heat oil in a large ovenproof non-stick frying pan over medium heat; cook garlic, chilli, fennel and corn, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes or until fennel is soft. Add spinach; cook, stirring, for 1 minute or until spinach has wilted.

3.Make two holes in the spinach mixture; break one egg into each hole. Sprinkle with parmesan.

4.Place under grill for 2 minutes or until eggs are cooked as desired.
