Ingredients
- 1 1 tablespoon cooking oil avocado oil works great
- ½ ½ lb mushrooms sliced
- 12 12 ounces baby spinach
- 1 1 pinch sea salt and pepper
- 4 4 large eggs
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to brown, about 8 minutes. Add the spinach to the pan, working in batches if needed, and let it wilt for about 2 minutes. (It doesn't need to be completely wilted as it will continue to cook with the eggs.) Season with salt and pepper.
- Reduce the heat to medium. Make 4 holes in the spinach and crack an egg into each hole. Cook the eggs for about 3-4 minutes, or just until the whites are set. If you prefer your egg yolks less runny, cover the pan while cooking. Serve right away.
