Easy Eggs Florentine

This is a really easy recipe, and loaded with vitamins, antioxidants, fiber, and protein.

1) Take a 10 oz package of frozen spinach, and either thaw it or just put it in a skillet with a lid and a little water. Turn the heat on low, and break up the block as it thaws. When it's hot, sprinkle some seasoned salt, nutmeg, or any spice mixture you want on it.

2) Crack 2-4 eggs on the spinach, depending upon how many servings you want and how hungry you are. Sprinkle with salt and/or spices, as above. Cover skillet and cook on medium until the eggs are set almost as much as you like them.

3) Optionally (but it really improves the dish) sprinkle cheese over the eggs and re-cover until the cheese melts. I find shredded parmesean works really well for this.

4) Optionally, drizzle a little cream over the whole thing before dishing it up.
