Rinse the green lentils under cold water.
In a saucepan, combine the lentils with 300ml of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the lentils are tender.
While the lentils are cooking, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat.
Halve the cherry tomatoes and add them to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the baby spinach to the pan and cook for another 1-2 minutes until wilted. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper.
In a separate small pan, bring water to a gentle simmer. Crack 1 egg into a small bowl and carefully slide it into the simmering water. Poach for 3-4 minutes until the white is set but the yolk remains runny.
Once the lentils are cooked, drain any excess water and stir in the dried mixed herbs, salt, and black pepper.
Assemble the bowl by placing the herbed lentils at the base, topping with the cooked cherry tomatoes and wilted spinach, and finally placing the poached egg on top.
Season with additional black pepper if desired and serve immediately.
