Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 1/2 cup shredded cheese
- 2 slices of bacon
- Salt to taste
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the bacon: In a skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon slices until they are crispy. Remove them from the skillet and place them on a paper towel to drain excess fat.
- Sauté the spinach: In the same skillet, use the bacon drippings to sauté the spinach over medium heat until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
- Whisk the eggs: In a bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them with a pinch of salt and pepper until well combined and slightly frothy.
- Scramble the eggs: Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the wilted spinach. Stir gently, cooking the eggs until fully cooked but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
- Add cheese and serve: Remove the skillet from heat, sprinkle the shredded cheese on top, and allow it to melt for a minute. Serve with slices of crispy bacon on top or alongside the eggs.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture. Don’t overcook the eggs to keep them creamy.
