4 servings
Servings4
3-4 tablespoons olive oil
10 ounces spinach
1 egg
2 tablespoons Romano cheese
salt
pepper
garlic powder

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

1

Heat a non-stick pan over medium heat and add 3-4 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.

2

Add 10 ounces of triple washed spinach to the pan; it will seem like a lot but will cook down.

3

Sprinkle a little salt and pepper over the spinach, adjusting to taste.

4

Move the spinach around in the pan to prevent burning and ensure even cooking.

5

Add a little garlic powder to the spinach, just enough to flavor it without burning.

6

Cook the spinach until wilted and well done, stirring occasionally.

7

In a bowl, scramble 1 egg and mix in 2 tablespoons of Romano cheese.

8

Once the spinach is cooked to your liking, pour the egg and cheese mixture into the pan with the spinach.

9

Stir to incorporate the egg and cheese into the spinach until fully combined and cooked through.
