What to make with eggs and spinach
Eggs and spinach is the fastest 'real food' dinner in the rotation. A frittata, a soft scramble over toast, a chilaquiles-style situation with leftover tortillas — 12 minutes start to finish. Built by a working chef.
Four ways to cook eggs and spinach tonight
- Spinach and feta frittata. Wilt the spinach in olive oil 60 seconds, beat 6 eggs with crumbled feta, pour over and bake at 400°F for 12 minutes.
- Soft-scrambled eggs on garlicky spinach toast. Sauté spinach with smashed garlic, pile on toast, top with low-and-slow scrambled eggs.
- Spanish-style eggs with spinach and chickpeas. Simmer spinach with paprika, garlic, and canned chickpeas, crack eggs on top and cover until set.
- Spinach shakshuka. Wilt spinach into a quick tomato base with cumin and paprika, nest the eggs in, cover and cook 6 minutes.
The one thing chefs do that home cooks skip
salt the spinach the second it hits the pan — it pulls the water out fast and you avoid a soggy finish.
If you've also got…
Add one of these and the dish levels up: lemon, fresh herbs, parmigiano, anchovy paste, chili crisp, soy sauce, butter, or a fried egg. The chef behind NowCook keeps every one of those in the kitchen for exactly this kind of pivot.
