Ingredients
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 tablespoon butter (for flavor and richness)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (cremini or white button work great)
• 4–5 cups fresh baby spinach (it wilts down a lot)
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 4 large eggs
• Optional toppings: red pepper flakes, feta cheese, fresh herbs (like thyme or parsley), avocado slices
Instructions
Sauté the mushrooms
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced mushrooms and cook for 6–8 minutes until they’re browned and their moisture has cooked off. Don’t rush this—color = flavor.Add the garlic and spinach
Toss in the garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, just until fragrant. Then stir in the spinach a few handfuls at a time. It’ll look like a lot, but it wilts down fast. Cook until just wilted, about 1–2 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.Create space for the eggs
Use a spoon to make four little wells in the veggie mixture. Crack an egg into each well, keeping the yolk intact.Cook the eggs your way
Cover the skillet with a lid and cook for 4–6 minutes until the whites are set but yolks are still runny (or longer if you prefer firmer yolks). Sprinkle with red pepper flakes or crumbled feta if you’re into it.Serve and enjoy
Scoop onto plates with a wide spatula or serve it straight from the pan at the table. Add crusty bread or avocado toast if you’re feeling fancy.
Notes
Pair with buttered toast, pita, or a warm tortilla
Top with parmesan, goat cheese, or pesto for a flavor boost
Drizzle with hot sauce or balsamic glaze for a little kick
Make it brunch-worthy with a side of roasted potatoes or fruit
