Description

A nutritious and flavorful skillet dish combining sautéed mushrooms, fresh spinach, and creamy spinach artichoke dip, topped with perfectly cooked eggs and garnished with cherry tomatoes. Served alongside toasted French bread, this recipe makes a satisfying breakfast or light meal.


Ingredients

Scale

Eggs and Vegetables

  • 4 Small Eggs
  • 3 cups Fresh Spinach
  • 4 Mushrooms, sliced
  • 4 Cherry Tomatoes, sliced

Dairy and Dips

  • 1/2 cup Spinach Artichoke Dip

Seasonings & Others

  • Olive Oil, as needed
  • Salt, to taste
  • Ground Black Pepper, to taste
  • Red Pepper Flakes, to taste
  • French Bread, toasted, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the Pan: Add olive oil to a skillet over medium heat, ensuring there is enough to lightly coat the bottom to prevent sticking and aid in sautéing.
  2. Sauté Mushrooms: Add sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook until they soften and start to brown, releasing their natural flavors, about 4-5 minutes.
  3. Add Spinach and Dip: Incorporate the fresh spinach and spinach artichoke dip into the skillet with the mushrooms. Stir to combine all ingredients evenly as the spinach wilts and the dip melts into the mixture.
  4. Season the Mixture: Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper to taste, stirring well to distribute the seasonings and enhance the overall flavor.
  5. Cook the Eggs: Crack the eggs directly into the spinach and mushroom mixture. Cover the skillet and cook until the eggs reach your preferred doneness—this can range from runny yolks to fully set, depending on personal taste.
  6. Garnish with Tomatoes and Spices: Once the eggs are cooked, add sliced cherry tomatoes on top and sprinkle with red pepper flakes for a subtle heat and vibrant color.
  7. Serve: Plate the spinach, mushroom, and egg mixture alongside toasted French bread to soak up the savory flavors. Enjoy immediately while warm.
