Ingredients
- Fresh spinach leaves (a handful or as desired)
- 2-3 eggs (depending on your preference)
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or your choice of similar variety)
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- Olive oil or butter for cooking
Preparation
- Prep the Spinach:
- Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
- Cook the Onion:
- In a skillet, heat a small amount of olive oil or melt some butter over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onions to the skillet. Sauté until the onions are translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the Spinach:
- Add the fresh spinach leaves to the skillet with the onions. Cook until the spinach is wilted, which should take about 2-3 minutes. Stir frequently to combine the flavors.
- Cook the Eggs:
- Create small wells in the spinach and onion mixture and crack an egg into each well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Cover the skillet with a lid and let the eggs cook to your desired doneness. For fully set whites and runny yolks, cook for about 3-5 minutes.
- Add Cheese:
- Once the eggs are nearly cooked, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the spinach and eggs. Cover the skillet again for about a minute to allow the cheese to melt.
- Serving:
- Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the skillet from heat. Serve hot directly from the skillet for a hearty breakfast or a nutritious meal any time of the day.
