Spinach and Egg Skillet with Cheese

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:

1. Thoroughly rinse the spinach leaves to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.

Cook the Onion:

1. Heat a small amount of olive oil or melt some butter in a skillet over medium heat.
2. Add the finely chopped onions to the skillet and sauté until they become translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the Spinach:

1. Incorporate the fresh spinach leaves into the skillet with the onions. Cook until the spinach is wilted, stirring frequently to blend the flavors, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Cook the Eggs:

1. Create small wells in the spinach and onion mixture. Crack an egg into each well and season with salt and pepper.
2. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs to your preferred doneness. For fully set whites and runny yolks, cook for about 3-5 minutes.

Add Cheese:

1. When the eggs are nearly done, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the spinach and eggs.
2. Cover the skillet again for about a minute to allow the cheese to melt.

Serving:

1. 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.
