Ingredients

  • 125g asparagus, cut into 3cm pieces

  • ½ tsp hot smoked paprika
  • 75g frozen spinach

  • 1 large egg

  2. Stir the spinach into the pan and cook for 5 mins until wilted before stirring through the crème fraîche. Season, then make a well in the middle of the mixture and crack the egg into it. Cover the pan and cook for 5-6 mins or until the egg is just set. Serve with a flatbread, if you like.
