Easy Spinach Dish

{This week’s menu is posted.}

Things have been way crazier these past few days than I could have predicted.  I didn’t even attempt the Vegetable Enchiladas I had planned on making.  School work has me completely stressed, so I’ve been pretty glued to my desk rather than the stove.

However, last night I had to eat something other than salad and cheese quesadillas {this would be my major pregnancy craving}.  Mostly because I was out of salad dressing and tortillas.

After rummaging through the kitchen, because I didn’t even make it to the grocery for my weekly trip, I found a bag of frozen spinach in the freezer I had planned on using for the enchiladas.  I also had some cheese left that had been meant for the enchiladas as well.  This dish is the result of my search.

Spinach with Cheese and Egg

Ingredients:

  • 3 cups frozen spinach, cooked
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese {I used Sharp Cheese}

Directions:

  1. Start eggs in a frying pan on medium-high heat.
  2. When eggs are about halfway done dump in spinach.  Mix thoroughly.
  3. When the eggs and spinach are almost completely done mix in the cheese.

Grade: B

Comments: This is way more spinach than egg.  I really threw the egg in there solely to add some protein.  It was a good quick dinner that I could make and eat in between corporate tax problems, but I knew I was going to require a snack later in the night {and I was right}.  You could easily add more vegetables if you wanted more of a veggie scramble.  You could also add more eggs and make it more like an omelet.  Either way, I can definitely see myself whipping it up again when I am in a hurry.  It would probably also make a great breakfast.
