- Heat the oil in a frying pan until hot. Tear the ciabatta into bite sized pieces and add to the hot oil. Fry for 2 to 3 mins, stirring occasionally until the croutons are crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper.
- Mix the tomatoes together with the oil and basil. Season to taste. Empty the spinach into 2 serving bowls, add the croutons, quartered eggs and tomatoes. Toss together and serve.
