(from Godey's Ladies Magazine, edited by L.A. Godey, Sarah J. Hale, 1860)

Ingredients:

toasted bread​
well-boiled spinach​
poached eggs​

Instructions:

Upon a toasted bread place a layer of well-boiled spinach about an inch thick; upon this place at equal distances poached eggs. This forms a pretty, light, and nourishing dish; but be careful that the yellow of the egg is not broken, or the appearance will be lost, and the eggs not worth eating.​
