Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 medium yellow onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
• 4 cups fresh spinach, roughly chopped
• 4 large eggs
• 0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 2

Once the oil is shimmering, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 more minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the ground beef to the skillet. Break it apart with a wooden spoon and cook until browned, about 6-8 minutes.

Step 5

Season the beef mixture with salt, black pepper, and dried oregano, stirring to combine.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Stir frequently until the spinach is wilted, approximately 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them until fully combined.

Step 8

Pour the eggs over the meat and spinach mixture in the skillet. Stir constantly for 2-3 minutes, or until the eggs are fully cooked and no longer runny.

Step 9

Optional: Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the mixture and stir to combine.

Step 10

Serve hot, either as-is or with crusty bread on the side.
