Poached Eggs with Canadian Bacon and Spinach
- 4 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 8 slices Canadian bacon, (8 ounces)
- 1 large shallot, sliced (3/4 cup)
- 1 (10-ounce) package baby spinach leaves, washed but not dried
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
- 4 large eggs
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat; add 2 teaspoons of the olive oil.
- Cook the Canadian bacon in the hot oil until brown and a little crispy, about 2 minutes per side.
- Set aside and tent with foil to keep warm.
- Add the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil and shallots to pan, and cook until they brown and soften, about 3 minutes.
- Add the spinach with whatever water clings to the leaves, and season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Raise the heat to high, stir the spinach, incorporating any browned bits from the bottom of the pan; cover and cook until wilted, about 1 minute.
- Meanwhile, fill a nonstick skillet with about 2 inches of water and bring it to the barest simmer over medium heat; add the vinegar.
- Crack the eggs, slipping them gently into the water, and cook until the whites are set but the yolks are still runny, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Using a slotted spoon, gently scoop the eggs from the water, blot dry with a paper towel.
- Divide the bacon between 4 plates, top with spinach and then with the poached eggs.
