INGREDIENTS

• 1/4 cup olive oil
• 2 to 3 medium leeks (about 1 lb), trimmed and sliced into half-moons
• Kosher salt and pepper
• 1 lb small cremini or white mushrooms, quartered (cut into sixths if large)
• 1 clove garlic, finely chopped
• 1/2 11-oz pkg spinach, thick stems removed
• 1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice
• 2 Tbsp fresh tarragon, chopped
• 4 large eggs
• 4 thick slices country bread
• 2 oz Gruyere or Swiss cheese, grated (about 1/2 cup)

DIRECTIONS

• Heat 1 Tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium heat; add the leeks and 1/2 tsp each salt and pepper and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 7 to 8 minutes; transfer to a plate.
• Heat 2 Tbsp oil in the skillet (no need to clean) over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, tossing occasionally, until golden brown and tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Reduce heat to low, return the leeks to the pan along with the spinach and cook, folding together until the spinach begins to wilt, about 2 minutes; remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and tarragon.
• Meanwhile, heat the broiler. Heat the remaining Tbsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Crack the eggs into the pan and cook, covered, to desired doneness, about 2 minutes for slightly runny yolks.
• Place the bread on a foil lined broiler-proof baking sheet. Sprinkle with the cheese. Broil until the cheese starts to brown, 1 to 2 minutes. Serve the eggs and cheesy toast with the leek mixture.
