Spinach and Egg Skillet with Cheese

Step 4: Create Space for the Eggs

Once the spinach is fully cooked, use a spatula or spoon to create three small wells in the skillet.
Crack one egg into each well, being careful not to break the yolk.

Step 5: Cook the Eggs

Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for about 3-5 minutes over low heat. This allows the eggs to cook gently while keeping the yolks runny (or fully set, depending on your preference).
If you prefer firmer yolks, cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until the eggs reach your desired doneness.

Step 6: Add the Cheese

Once the eggs are nearly done, sprinkle the shredded cheese over the spinach and eggs.
Cover the skillet again and cook for another minute, just until the cheese melts beautifully into the dish.

Step 7: Serve and Enjoy!

Remove the skillet from heat and let it sit for a minute.
Garnish with fresh herbs, like parsley or cilantro, for an extra pop of flavor.
Serve hot with toasted bread, pita, or even over rice for a heartier meal.
