Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 small onion finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic thinly sliced
  • 8 oz ground beef
  • Salt / Pepper
  • 1 lb baby spinach chopped
  • 6 large eggs lightly beaten
  • 2 tbsp milk
  • Hot sauce a few dashes (Sriracha)
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan-Reggiano
  • Sourdough toasted

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat the oil and sauté the onion and garlic until the onion softens, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef and season with salt and pepper. Sauté until beef browns, about 8 minutes. Add spinach and stir until wilted.
  2. In a bowl combine eggs, milk and hot sauce. Reduce the heat under pan to medium and add the egg mixture. Cook, stirring constantly until the eggs are set, 2 to 3 minutes. Scatter cheese over top and serve with toast.

Recipe Notes

You can use less spinach, I only used an 8oz bag of spinach, and it was plenty. I used 8 eggs and 4 tbsp milk and season the beaten eggs with salt and pepper before adding to the pan.
