1 or (2) eggs
1 piece sourdough bread, lightly toasted
1 tbsp butter
1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
1 bunch leafy green vegetables, e.g. spinach, silverbeet, kale, rocket

- Meanwhile, toast the sourdough and sauté the greens.
- In a frying pan, heat the butter on a medium heat. Add the chopped and rinsed greens, and the garlic. Squeeze over the lemon, then cook for a minute or two. Remove from heat once the veggies are wilted.
