Spinach & Mushroom Eggs
An easy one-pan breakfast that turns eggs, mushrooms and spinach into something special.
A single pan brings together onion, mushrooms, and spinach to make a savory base where eggs cook right into it until set. Optional cheese melts among the vegetables for a creamy touch. A protein-rich breakfast made and served from the same skillet.
How to Prepare
Heat a little olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion until soft.
Add the mushrooms and cook until golden, then stir in the garlic and black pepper.
Add the spinach and cook until just wilted.
Lay over the cheese slices, if using.
Make wells and crack in the eggs; season with salt and pepper.
Cover and cook until the eggs are set to your liking, then serve.

Cook the mushrooms until all their liquid evaporates so the eggs stay rich, not watery.
Ingredient Swaps

No mushrooms? Use bell pepper or diced zucchini.
Any cheese that melts well, such as mozzarella or cheddar, suits the dish.
Common Questions
How do I cook the eggs to the texture I like?
Cover the pan over low heat; shorten the time for runny yolks and lengthen it for firm ones.
Why cook the mushrooms until golden?
Browning them releases their water and keeps the dish from turning watery.
Can I skip the cheese?
Yes, the dish is complete without it and the cheese is an optional addition.
What should I serve it with?
With toasted bread or warm pita.
Can I scale it up?
Yes, use a wider pan so the eggs set evenly.
