Eggs In A Basket With Smoky Chard
  1. Put a tablespoon of the oil in a large frying pan on a medium heat, add the garlicand fry for 30 seconds.

  2. Add the chard and paprika, and stir-fry for three to four minutes, just until the chard has wilted (this will take less time if it’s quite young).

  3. Season with a half-teaspoon of flaky sea salt and the lemon juice, then taste and add more salt as needed.

  4. Transfer the chard to a bowl and wipe out the pan with kitchen roll.

  5. While the chard is cooking, use a round cutter to stamp out a circle from the centre of each slice of bread.

  6. Put the remaining oil in the now-empty chard pan on a medium heat, then lay in the bread (one slice at a time, if the pan’s not big enough for both) and its cut-out circle, too, if there’s room and fry for a minute just to get a little colour.

  7. Flip over, break an egg into the hole in the centre and fry for a minute or two, until the white is just set and the yolk runny; if you prefer your eggs over easy, by all means flip for 30 seconds to seal the other side.

  8. Scatter each basket with a pinch of sea salt and serve with the smoky chard, fried bread circles and a big spoon of yoghurt alongside.
