Best 8 Creamed Spinach Egg Skillet Recipes

CREAMY ONE-POT SPINACH AND EGG BREAKFAST RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a 9-inch (23 cm) cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and ½ teaspoon of salt. Cook for 6-8 minutes, until the onions are softened and translucent.
• Add the garlic, red pepper flakes, and nutmeg and cook for 2 minutes, until the garlic is fragrant.
• Sprinkle the flour into the pan and mix well to incorporate it into the butter and remove any clumps. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the flour is cooked and beginning to turn light brown in color.
• Pour in the vegetable stock and heavy cream and stir well to combine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, until slightly thickened. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and the remaining ½ teaspoon of salt and cook the cheese until it melts, stirring continuously, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the lemon juice and spinach. Remove the pan from the heat.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain each egg to remove the outer egg white, the thinner layer of the egg white that tends to spread when an egg is cracked into a pan. Add each egg to its own small bowl.
• Using a ¼ cup (30 g) measure, create 4 divots in the spinach mixture and carefully pour a strained egg into each space. Sprinkle each egg with the pepper and a pinch of Parmesan.
• Return the pan to medium heat and cover. Cook for 5 minutes, until the egg whites are starting to set.
• Meanwhile, turn the broiler to high. Remove the lid from the pan and broil for 2-3 minutes to cook off any excess moisture that may have accumulated and to brown the cheese.
• Remove the pan from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving with toast.
• Enjoy!

CREAMED SPINACH

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the shallots and cook, stirring frequently, until soft and translucent, about 4 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute more. Do not brown. Add the heavy cream, salt, pepper, and nutmeg and bring to a gentle boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the cream is thick enough to coat a wooden spoon, about 10 minutes. Add the cheese and stir until melted. Add the spinach and stir until evenly combined with the cream sauce. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. (If the spinach seems a little watery, cook over medium-low heat until any excess liquid evaporates.) Serve warm.
• Note: Cut leaf spinach is not the same as chopped spinach. If your market doesn't carry cut leaf spinach, look for frozen whole leaf spinach. (Chopped spinach will work but the texture won't be as appealing.) Some markets carry 1-lb bags and some carry 10-oz boxes; if you can only find the 10-oz boxes, you'll need three of them. If you'd like to start with fresh spinach, you'll need about 2 pounds baby spinach leaves. Steam and drain the baby spinach, then roughly chop and measure out 2 packed cups.
• Make-Ahead Instructions: This dish can be made and refrigerated a day ahead of time. Reheat in the microwave, uncovered, stirring every 30 seconds or so, until hot, a few minutes. When reheated, the spinach won't be quite as creamy-looking as it was originally (though the taste will be the same); you can add a bit of cream when reheating to get a creamier consistency, if you'd like.
