Lots of fresh mushrooms, tender spinach leaves and creamy butter makes this dish irresistible.

Pour eggs on top of spinach in skillet; cook over low heat until eggs are set, 6 to 8 minutes. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.

Re: All things Spinach

I can't leave out wilted spinach in bacon drippings, inspiration from MOG. Fry up some bacon, leave a little dripping left in the pan, throw in a cup or so of spinach leaves and stir them around on medium until wilted, only a minute or two. You can leave the bacon in when you cook the spinach and then a few eggs on top and make a scramble/omelet out of it.

Re: All things Spinach

Yum everything sounds so good! I love spinach too Barb! I could eat it every day! Those little quiche thingy's you made look awesome. I like the quiche recipe in the back of DANDR with spinach and gueyre (I don't know if I spelled that right) cheese!

I also like fresh sauteed spinach in an omelette with cream cheese and crab meat and baby shrimp--I think I've died and gone to heaven when I have that!

Re: All things Spinach

I like a wilted spinach salad with dressing made from bacon grease, dijon, and something else I'm not remembering. The recipe is at home. Really good if you throw in a little blue cheese and hard boiled eggs.

All things Spinach

I just saw this in SheKnows LowCarb magazine

Simple Sauteed Spinach (in the Indian cuisine section)

1/2 tsp coriander seeds, finely ground
16 ounces bagged frozen spinach
1 tsp olive oil
1 cup sliced onions
1 tsp ginger (sliced and chopped finely)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
1 Tbs yogurt

Cook spinach according to the directions. Drain and squeeze well to remove as much water as possible. Chop and set aside.

Heat oil until hot but not smoking in a 12 inch saute pan. Add onions, ginger and coriander. Stir to combine. Saute over medium low heat for 5 to 6 minutes until onions have wilted.

Add spinach to pan and stir to combine. Lower heat and cover. Cook for five minutes.
