Spinach Microgreens with Eggs and Asparagus on Toast

Spinach Microgreens with Eggs and Asparagus on Toast

This basic, but tasty and healthy recipe is filled with nutrients that include:

  • 225% of your recommended daily intake of vitamin K,
  • 62 % of folic acid (B9),
  • 60% of riboflavin (B2),
  • 59% pf thiamin (B1), and
  • 48% of your daily iron needs.

The mildly sweet taste of the spinach microgreens complements the tarty asparagus. And the egg yolk smothers that sweet and sour taste with a smooth flavor. Add sourdough bread instead of bagels, and your palette asks for more.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
