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
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Season the Mixture: Sprinkle salt and ground black pepper to taste, stirring well to distribute the seasonings and enhance the overall flavor.
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve: Plate the spinach, mushroom, and egg mixture alongside toasted French bread to soak up the savory flavors. Enjoy immediately while warm.
Notes
- Use fresh spinach for the best texture; frozen can be substituted but will release more water.
- Adjust the amount of spinach artichoke dip based on desired creaminess and flavor intensity.
- Cooking times for eggs can vary; covering the skillet helps cook them evenly.
- To make this recipe vegetarian, ensure the spinach artichoke dip contains no animal-based gelatin or rennet.
- Enjoy this dish with gluten-free bread as a substitute if needed.
