Spinach and Prosciutto Egg Nest Recipe
I've been trying to include some more greens in my diet, particularly at breakfast. A quick google search and you will find all the reasons why dark greens like spinach and kale are nutritional powerhouses.
Did you know that spinach is an excellent source of vitamin K, vitamin A, manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, copper, vitamin B2, vitamin B6, vitamin E, calcium, potassium, and vitamin C? It's also a good source of protein - who knew?!
So here's a simple yet delicious way to enjoy your greens first thing in the AM, but don't feel like you can't just as easily prepare this for lunch or dinner.
Here's the play by play:
 |
| By hand, rip up 4-5 slices of prosciutto. |
 |
| Add those prosciutto pieces to a hot cast iron skillet, that's been coated with a bit of cooking fat (olive oil, coconut oil, ghee, etc) |
 |
| Once the prosciutto starts to get crispy, add in 2-3 heaping handfuls of spinach into your pan, along with another small drizzle of olive oil, a capful of apple cider vinegar, a dash of salt (remember the prosciutto is salty), and a little black pepper. |
 |
| After continuously stirring the spinach and prosciutto, make a well once the spinach has started to wilt. |
 |
| Add in your eggs... |
 |
| ...and cover! The steam will cook the tops of the eggs and finish cooking the spinach. |
 |
| After a couple minutes, your meal is done! |
 |
| I'm a busy, working mama so I just ate it straight out of the pan! One less dish to clean! |
Spinach and Prosciutto Egg Nest Recipe
Recipe Ingredients
- 4-5 slices of thinly sliced prosciutto
- 2-3 heaping handfuls of spinach
- 2 eggs
- capful of apple cider vinegar
- pinch of salt and pepper
- cooking fat for pan (olive oil, ghee, coconut oil, etc)
- Heat a cast iron pan over medium heat.
- By hand, rip up 4-5 slices of prosciutto so that you have smaller pieces.
- Add those prosciutto pieces to a hot cast iron skillet, that's been coated with a bit of cooking fat, and crisp up for a minute or two.
- Once the prosciutto starts to get crispy, add in 2-3 heaping handfuls of spinach into your pan, along with another small drizzle of olive oil, a capful of apple cider vinegar, a dash of salt (remember the prosciutto is salty), and a little black pepper.
- After continuously stirring the spinach and prosciutto, make a well once the spinach has started to wilt. Add in your eggs and cover the pan. The steam will cook the tops of your eggs and finish cooking the spinach. Use a clear top if you can, so you can see when the eggs are done to your liking without having to prematurely let out the steam.
- Once done to your liking, uncover and enjoy! I eat this right out of the pan - no need to dirty another dish!
