Heirloom Organics sells baby greens at the Mountain View Farmer’s Market (and other Markets in the Bay Area). I bought a one pound bag of spinach and been using handfuls in various dishes/meals. This breakfast looked extraordinary – to me – with the large duck eggs, with the over-sized golden-yellow yolks. I bought the duck eggs from a friend, who bought’m from a farmer near Santa Cruz.
Ingredients
- 1 tsp olive oil
- 3 handfuls baby spinach (about 3 cups)
- 2 duck eggs
- 3 tbls liquid
- Fresh marjoram leaves
- Black Salt (that I bought at Napa Style, in Los Gatos…. is not black, but is pink colored and has a very strong distinctive salty/sulfur flavor …like hard-boiled egg yolks)

- and, I wanted the steam from the liquid to cook the tops of the egg whites, which would cook faster than the yolk. I wanted the yolk to remain uncooked.

4. I then added 3 tablespoons of liquid and turned off the heat, for two reasons:
