Pull the eggs off the heat when they still look a little loose; carryover cooking will do the rest.

Ingredients

1 serving

2 large eggs
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon olive oil
3 cups baby spinach
1-2 tablespoons grated Parmesan
Crushed red pepper flakes

Preparation

  1. Whisk 2 large eggs in a small bowl; season with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper and set aside. Heat 1 teaspoon olive oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add 3 cups baby spinach and cook, tossing, until wilted, about 1 minute. Add eggs; cook, stirring occasionally, until just set, about 1 minute. Stir in 1-2 tablespoons grated Parmesan. Sprinkle with crushed red pepper flakes.

  • Easy and quick. Next time I would add onions and garlic and might top with sauteed mushrooms.

  • I have now made this numerous times. As others have indicated, it can serve as a base to which you can add a variety of things. I usually sauté onions and garlic, then add spinach, and then the eggs ect.

  • The simplicity of this offers great taste. So easy and quick to make. I used Cayenne Pepper as a sub for pepper flakes. The great thing is you can add what you like to the base of eggs and spinanch.

  • Been throwing this together since my school days (long, long ago) as a quick breakfast before scooting out the door. Never really considered it a "recipe." I always sauté some onions & garlic before adding the spinach, and use whatever cheese I have on hand. Cheddar, jack, or mozzarella all work beautifully, and have a much better melting quality than Parmesan. I also add Italian sausage sometimes. Very versatile basic recipe that is easily adaptable and ALWAYS comes out delicious and filling. Good for breakfast, lunch or dinner.

  • Very easy, and yummy. Next time I would increase the number of eggs to three, as it was heavy on the spinach. I think it's good as it is, but adding some tomatoes or garlic as other reviewers suggested might also be tasty.

  • Absolutely delicious! Super quick and simple, it was ready in about 10 or so minutes. My only suggestion would be to add the tomatoes like another review suggested as well as adding garlic to help boost the flavor since it can be a little bland. I sautéed an onion and added about 3 and a half tablespoons of parmesan to help boost the flavor even more. Would definitely make this again.

  • Made the recipe exactly as directed. Yummy but a bit bland. Second time I made it by sauteing in the olive oil a clove of minced garlic and a few cherry tomatoes cut in half. Then continued as directed. It just added a little extra flavor. In my opinion the garlic and tomato additions takes it from a 3 fork rating to a 4 fork.

  • Very easy and tasty. Would be equally good with parmesan or feta cheese!

  • I'm a high school student and this recipe was so easy to make. I can absolutely see myself making this in the morning before school. It takes five minutes and requires very little. I do recommend chopping the spinach up a little and watch how much pepper flakes you add! (speaking from experience while drinking a glass of milk)

  • (fork rating didn't work: I give this 3 forks!) This was really good quick and easy. Tips: chop spinach really well first and cut spinach amount in half - I found it to be too much and I left out the red pepper flakes but will use them next time because it was a bit bland without.
