Ingredients for Sunny-Side-up Eggs on Mustard-Creamed Spinach with Crispy Crumbs

  • 60g coarse fresh breadcrumbs made from crustless country-style bread

  • 25ml dijon mustard, divided

  • 2 teaspoons plus 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 1/2 teaspoons mustard seeds

  • 1 250g package fresh spinach leaves

  • 3 tablespoons half cream

  • 1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme

  • 2 large eggs

  • Fresh thyme sprigs (for garnish)

Preheat oven to 204°C. Toss crumbs with 2 teaspoons mustard, 2 teaspoons oil, and mustard seeds in medium bowl to coat.

Scatter on rimmed baking sheet. Bake until golden and crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Meanwhile, add enough water to deep large nonstick skillet to cover bottom. Add spinach; toss over high heat to wilt, about 2 minutes. Scrape into sieve set over bowl; press out liquid. Wipe out skillet; reserve.

Transfer spinach to medium saucepan. Add 3 teaspoons mustard, half cream, and chopped thyme. Stir over medium heat until thick, about 3 minutes. Season with freshly ground black pepper. Remove from heat.
