You'll need a skillet with a lid for this recipe. Non-stick is best.
Prep Time: 5 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 10 oz package chopped frozen spinach
- 3-6 eggs
- 1 T cheese per egg - can be low fat for South Beach and Zone, or full fat - parmesean is nice
- Seasonings to taste (I like salt, pepper, and just a sprinkle of nutmeg)
- Cream (optional)
Preparation:
1. Thaw spinach - can do it with a little water in the pan if you want.(skillet with lid). Spread spinach over bottom of pan. Add a little water if there isn't any.2. Season spinach however it strikes your fancy.
3. When spinach is hot, crack eggs on top. Salt and pepper the eggs and put the lid on. In a few minutes, the eggs will be steam-cooked.
4. When they are almost how you like them, sprinkle the cheese on top of the eggs and put the lid back on until the cheese is melted.
5. For a deluxe effect, drizzle cream over all.
