Turmeric Spinach and Eggs
Equipment
- medium sized nonstick saute pan
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 1/2 yellow onion sliced thinly in half rounds
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 4 cups fresh spinach packed, about 4.5 oz
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved, about 5 oz
- 3/4 teaspoon turmeric
- 1/4 teaspoon curry powder
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- In a medium / large saute pan melt butter over medium heat and add onions and garlic. Saute for 1-2 minutes, stirring often until they are translucent.
- Add fresh spinach to the pan in batches. Use tongs to stir spinach in with butter and wilt slightly before adding more. Repeat until all of the spinach is in the pan.
- Add tomatoes, salt, pepper, turmeric, and curry powder. Mix well and continue to stir until spinach is fully wilted, about 3-4 minutes.
- Once the spinach is wilted, lower the heat to medium low and then create two wells in the spinach and crack one egg in each well.
- Cover the pan with a lid for approximately 2 1/2 - 3 minutes until egg whites are cooked but the yolks are still soft (sunny side up).
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Just made this dish and I am impressed. Taste , color and texture are perfect .
I sautee some mushrooms and I make it with avocado oil instead of butter. I love this recipe. My husband is not into it, but I make it for myself about once a week for a quick, low cal, healthy dinner.
Oooh the mushrooms and avocado oil sounds amazing! So great to hear! Too bad your husband doesn't like it, but it's nice to make something just for yourself once in awhile 🙂
I am obsessed with turmeric and add it to pretty much everything I cook! It's amazing! This dish sounds perfect for a weekend brunch.
I make eggs most mornings for breakfast and have been in need of a new recipe for them. I’ll be giving this a try this week as I love the addition of the cherry tomatoes and turmeric. Thanks for sharing!
Mmmm, this sounds amazing and looks perfect for me for breakfast! I love turmeric too for all of the health benefits, but don't cook with it nearly as much as I should. I usually just drink it in my apple cider vinegar drink.
