Eggs Fried in Parmesan Breadcrumbs with Wilted Spinach
Step 1 · Combine Ingredients
In a 12-inch non-stick skillet, combine the panko, Parmesan, thyme, paprika, vinegar, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 3 tablespoons oil. Stir until well combined.
Step 2 · Toast Mixture
Set the skillet over medium-high heat and toast the mixture, stirring often, until light golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 3 · Add Eggs
Working quickly, use the back of a spoon to create 4 evenly spaced clearings in the mixture. Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons oil into the clearings, dividing it evenly, then crack an egg into each. The eggs should sizzle on contact.
Step 4 · Cook Eggs
Sprinkle the eggs with salt, then cover them with the spinach. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and cook, occasionally rotating the pan for even browning, until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 5 to 7 minutes.
Step 5 · Serve
Remove the pan from the heat. Using a thin, wide spatula, transfer the eggs to individual plates. Drizzle with additional oil and sprinkle with additional cheese.
