Recently I have been experimenting with different variations of ‘brunch salads’. I like to have these when I’m having a later breakfast, and want my first meal to be savoury instead of sweet. They are great because you get such a big bowl of food that is full of nutrition and greens. This Pesto Bean and Courgette Salad with a Poached Egg really hit the spot – make sure your poached egg still has a running yolk because it makes all the difference!
Add an extra egg each, or a slice of bread, for a slightly more substantial brunch that will keep you full for hours!
Pesto Bean and Courgette Brunch Salad With Poached Egg
Recipe details
Ingredients
- 1/2 medium courgette
- 1 x 400g cannellini beans
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 red onion
- 1 garlic clove
- 1 TBSP green pesto
- 2 handfuls of spinach
- Chopped coriander (optional)
Instructions
- Heat a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat, add a little oil, then add the diced onion, garlic and courgette, along with a little salt and pepper. Let it fry for about 10 minutes till the courgettes are starting to brown nicely.
- Drain the cannellini beans, rinse well, then add to the frying pan, mixing everything together.
- Meanwhile, boil water in another saucepan and add the 2 eggs to poach.
- Distribute the spinach between two bowls – drizzling with a little oil or balsamic if you wish.
- When the beans and courgette mix looks ready, add a tablespoon of pesto and mix in. Spoon between the two spinach bowls, top with a poached egg on each, sprinkle a bit of coriander or more salt and pepper if you like, and enjoy!
