Quick Spinach & Egg Breakfast (S)

What's quick, versatile, and always satisfying?  The spinach and egg scramble.

If you have spinach and eggs, you have the basis for a good nourishing, satisfying meal anytime, but breakfast just calls for it at my house.  Lately I've been making it with browned turkey pan sausage, but many times I make it with leftover bacon bits (turkey or pork).  

For weekends when I have more time I grate a good sharp cheddar over the top and spoon it onto a low carb tortilla, then add salsa! Indescribably delicious and satisfying!

First, saute some spinach in a little olive oil; once it gets cooked down, add salt and pepper and a squeeze of lemon(the lemon is IMPORTANT) and toss it together.  The picture shows just one handful cooked down for one serving.  I add a handful of spinach for each serving.  I almost always use organic baby spinach for this,tender and tasty!  

Next, make sure that the mixture in the skillet is nice and hot and then add to it, 2 beaten eggs per serving desired.  Go ahead and sprinkle it with a little more salt and pepper now.  If you have meat; add it at this time.  I typically do not cook meat especially for this, unless we have company, I just make it when I have bits of bacon or sausage, or both, to use up.  Scramble this mixture around until light and fluffy and thoroughly cooked.  Just takes a minute, so it is important not to overcook it.

Happy Breakfasting!
