Ingredients
- 4 size 6 eggs

- spray oil
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil

- 2 cups prepared slaw mix (without dressing)
- 3 cups finely sliced spinach
- ¼ cup roughly chopped fresh coriander
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
- 1 tablespoon toasted pumpkin seeds

Instructions
- In a pot of boiling water, place eggs and boil for 9 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water, until cool enough to handle. Peel eggs.
- Preheat oven to 200ºC. Divide falafel mix into 4. Mould one portion of falafel mix around each egg to cover completely. Place on a baking dish lined with baking paper. Spray with oil. Bake for 10-12 minutes, turning once or twice until outside of eggs is golden.
