Spinat mit Spiegelei

Spinat mit spiegelei is a classic Austrian and German dish that translates to "spinach with fried egg." This simple yet nutritious meal typically consists of sautéed or creamed spinach served alongside sunny-side-up eggs and sometimes fried potatoes or potato pancakes.


The spinach is often seasoned with garlic, onions, salt, and pepper and occasionally enriched with a bit of cream or milk for added richness. The fried eggs, with their runny yolks, complement the creamy texture of the spinach. This dish is a popular choice for a quick, healthy, and satisfying meal, often enjoyed for lunch or dinner.


In Austria, the dish is traditionally prepared for Maundy Thursday.
