This delightful dish combines the freshness of mixed greens with perfectly poached eggs and the richness of Parmesan cheese. It's a simple yet elegant recipe that's perfect for breakfast, brunch, or a light dinner.

Ingredients: 4 large eggs. 4 cups of mixed greens such as spinach, arugula, and kale. 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese. 2 tablespoons olive oil. Salt and pepper to taste. 1 tablespoon white vinegar.

Instructions: Fill a large saucepan with water and bring it to a simmer over medium-high heat. While the water is heating, wash and dry the mixed greens. Divide them among four serving plates.

Poach the eggs for about 3-4 minutes for a runny yolk or longer for a firmer yolk.

Drizzle olive oil over the mixed greens and season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss gently to coat. Place a poached egg on top of the dressed greens on each plate.
