Ingredients
Method
Gather and prepare your ingredients.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or shallow casserole dish over medium heat. Add the garlic and turmeric and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Pour in the butter beans, season with salt and pepper and stir for 2 minutes to warm through.
Add the peas and spinach and stir until the spinach is wilted but still vibrant green.
Stir through herbs, adding a splash of water, if needed, to loosen.
Make wells in the mixture and crack in the eggs. Cover and cook for 5–7 minutes until egg whites are set and the yolks are still soft.
Finish with a drizzle of lemon juice, an extra scatter of herbs, if you like, and season to taste.

I used this as more of an idea. I was cleaning out the fridge, so I used lentils and chickpeas, half a can of coconut milk, curry powder and some frozen spinach. It worked great - a great frame to free style with whatever you have around that needs to be used up.
I’ve been wanting to make this recipe for a while and finally made it this morning. I was surprised to find I didn’t have any frozen peas but I did have frozen edamame. Not as sweet like peas but a decent substute. I thoroughly enjoyed this recipe and will make it again. Many thanks to the Doctor’s Kitchen!
I used a number of substitutes for this. Navy beans in place of butter beans. Broccoli for peas, Dried herbs in place of fresh herbs. Really liked it. Others said it lacked a bit of flavor, but I thought it was great as is...the lemon really is a great final touch. Very filling. Quick to make. Will definitely make it again. Thank you!
I didn't like this at all... Overly garlicky, not really enough flavour despite the herbs and disliked the texture. Found the spinach hard to swallow. Would not make again.
It's not one of my favorite recipes because it lacked some flavor, but it does say "season to taste".
Another super easy and delicious brunch recipe.
Very tasty, added coconut cream to mix and finished with pesto
Really liked it as is!
Loved it for brunch...added a bit of chipotle paste for a kick...will definitely make again
It was ok. I felt it needed more flavour than just the garlic and turmeric, which I found a little flat on their own. I think I would sautee onions next time (white or yellow) and maybe add a little cumin to the turmeric and garlic. I didn’t have dill and only used parsley and cilantro, but they should have been enough. Maybe a little more lemon next time than just the squeeze I used but lemon on eggs had me a tiny bit nervous. lol I’d definitely try it again with a little tweaking to my own personal taste. I also really liked that it was a fast easy dish to make - really liked that it was outside my usual wheelhouse!
Very tasty meal…added some tomato purée to bind it all together more and also added some roasted potatoes. Will definitely be having again.
Well I made a "version" 🤣
Absolutely loved it, totally delish!!
I had a jar of Cannellini beans open, sadly no fresh parsley or coriander, but had good dried Dill available.
It was so beautiful to look too at with the vibrancy of the yellow Turmeric and Green Peas & Spinach, I'll definitely be having it again!
Fun recipe . Saw the recipe pop up on phone while thinking what to have for dinner. I went to the garden and cut spinach and parley and cooked up the dish. The family loved it
Was very easy to make and was deliscous.
Very tasty but unusual for a breakfast dish
Very quick, very easy and very tasty. Just felt that it could do with the addition of some sort of sauce, but otherwise all good. Will definitely cook again.
