I love fried eggs. They are really good on top of almost anything –– in fact, just yesterday, I had one on top of a hamburger (whoa!) for the first time and it just proved this “theory” of mine to be true. I must say though that there’s something magical about a fried egg oozing over a really fresh spinach salad that makes me think –– THIS is the best way to eat a fried egg. Runny and hot out of the pan eggs slightly wilt the spinach and take things to a whole new level of flavor. Finish this salad off with some perfectly sweet, crispy carrots, gorgeous candied-stripped beets (AKA Chioggia beets) and some whimsical fennel and it’s an Easter Salad with Fried Eggs for your favorite bunnies to enjoy.
