Egg in Glass, with Spinach and Smoked Salmon

The perfect egg in glass, with spinach and smoked salmon recipe with a picture and simple step-by-step instructions.

  • 1 tbsp Creme fraiche Cheese
  • 2 tbsp Cooked spinach leaves
  • 1 disc Smoked salmon
  • 1 Egg
  • 1 pinch Salt
  1. Pour the crème fraîche into a small mason jar (size: approx. 200 ml). Put the spinach seasoned with braised onions, garlic, salt, pepper and nutmeg on top, then place the smoked salmon cut into strips on top. Open an egg and carefully slide it on top so that the egg yolk stays whole. Salt the egg white and seal the jar.
  2. Heat the glass in a water bath. To do this, take a sufficiently high saucepan and bring some water to the boil in it. Carefully put the mason jar in, it should be about halfway up in the water. Two layers of kitchen paper in the water under the mason jar protect the glass while cooking. Put a lid on the pot and let it simmer gently.
  3. When the egg white has shrunk and has therefore turned completely white, but the yolk is still runny, the dish is ready. Enjoy your meal!

  1. Boiling in the water bath should take about 8 minutes. It took me a lot longer because I forgot to put a lid on the pot. But then it went very quickly, the glass was even a touch too long in the water, because the egg yolk should have been much more liquid for my taste. You can serve a long piece of toasted bread to dab in the egg yolk.

variants

  1. Probably the simplest form is: just crème fraîche and egg. You can also use cream instead of crème fraîche. Or rub a few drops of olive oil on the bottom, with fried bacon on top. Or sprinkle with grated cheese, etc.
