Place the tomato, garlic, vinegar and a small pinch of salt into a small blender.  If you don&#8217;t have a blender just chop everything up as finely as possible and cook for a bit longer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the sauce in a pan over a low heat and reduce for aroud 10 mins, ideally you want it to reduce the moisture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Place the spinach in two bowls and share the sauce across both portions while still hot, this will wilt the spinach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a small pan bring water to the boil, add salt and a couple of tablespoons of vinegar.  Swirl the water, reduce to a simmer and gently crack two eggs into the water.  The key to a great avocado egg and spinach breakfast is the poaching of the eggs!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I tend to almost place the shell on the water and tip the egg in, seems to work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Poached eggs are tricky, I cook mine on a gentle simmer for about four minutes but it&#8217;s trial and error.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As the eggs are cooking (or ahead of time) prepare the avocado.  Simply cut all the way around a separate the two halfs.  Take a tablespoon and remove the stone, then scoop the felsh out from the skin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You should end up with what would look like two half ice cream scoops.  Squeeze over the lime juice and a pinch of salt, I just do this on a chopping board.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After 4-5 mins the eggs will be ready.  Remove them from the pan and drain off the water, kitchen roll works well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Slice the avocado and scatter over the spinach and tomatoes, add the egg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you have an avocado egg and spinach breakfast in less than 10 mins to kick start the day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A perfect start to the day, at only 354 calories this avocado breakfast is packed with good fats and spinach is just -well good for you.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":6,"featured_media":2414,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5,13,18],"tags":[53],"class_list":["post-2413","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-breakfast","category-favourites","category-healthy","tag-healthy"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2413","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/6"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2413"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2413\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2414"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2413"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2413"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sites.askyr.com\/loadsofrecipes\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2413"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
