Spinach and Egg Skillet with Cheese

Ingredients:

• A handful of fresh spinach leaves
• 2-3 eggs
• 1/2 cup shredded cheese (cheddar or similar)
• 1 onion, finely chopped
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• Olive oil or butter for cooking

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Spinach: Rinse the spinach leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or grit. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Onion: Heat a small amount of olive oil or melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add finely chopped onions and sauté until translucent and slightly golden, about 5-7 minutes.
3. Add the Spinach: Add the rinsed spinach leaves to the skillet with the onions. Cook until wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently to combine flavors.
4. Cook the Eggs: Create small wells in the spinach and onion mixture and crack an egg into each well. Season with salt and pepper. Cover the skillet with a lid and cook the eggs to your desired doneness. For fully set whites and runny yolks, cook for 3-5 minutes.
5. Add Cheese: Sprinkle shredded cheese over the spinach and eggs when the eggs are nearly cooked. Cover the skillet for about a minute to melt the cheese.
6. Serving: Remove the skillet from heat when the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve hot directly from the skillet for a hearty breakfast or nutritious meal any time of day.
