Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 egg white
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 2 tbsp shredded parmesan cheese

Instructions

  1. Heat a sauté pan on medium high. Add olive oil. 

  2. Once olive oil is heated up, add chopped spinach and sauté until spinach has reduced in size and most liquid has evaporated. 

  3. Add eggs to pan and stir constantly for 2-4 minutes. 

  4. Just before eggs set, add parmesan to pan and stir to incorporate. I used a microplane to shred the parmesan, but chunky shreds from a box grater would work well too. If you use chunky shreds, sauté them with the eggs a little longer to melt and incorporate. 

  5. Add salt and pepper to taste. Be sure to taste the eggs before adding salt. You may need less because Parmigiano-Reggiano is a nice, salty cheese.

Recipe Notes:

These eggs also taste great with diced, sautéed onion or diced, sautéed ham.
