Sunrise Delight: Sunny-Side-Up Egg with Sautéed Baby Spinach and Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 1 large egg
• 1 cup baby spinach leaves (whole)
• 1/2 cup mushrooms, sliced
• 1 tablespoon olive oil or butter
• Salt and pepper to taste
• Optional: grated cheese (such as Parmesan) for topping

Instructions:

Prepare the Spinach and Mushrooms:

• Heat a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
• Add the olive oil or butter and let it melt and coat the pan evenly.
• Add the sliced mushrooms to the pan and sauté for about 3-4 minutes until they become tender and start to brown.

Add the Baby Spinach:

• Add the whole baby spinach leaves to the pan with the sautéed mushrooms.
• Stir occasionally and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the spinach wilts and cooks down.

Season and Make a Well:

• Season the spinach and mushroom mixture with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
• Create a well in the center of the pan by pushing the spinach and mushrooms to the edges. This is where your sunny-side-up egg will go.

Cook the Sunny-Side-Up Egg:

• Crack the egg into the well you created in the center of the pan.
• Allow the egg to cook undisturbed for about 2-3 minutes, or until the whites are set but the yolk is still runny. If you prefer a firmer yolk, cook for an additional minute.

Optional: Add Cheese (if desired):

• If you like, sprinkle some grated cheese over the egg while it's cooking. This will add a nice creamy touch to your dish.

Serve:

• Carefully slide the sunny-side-up egg with the sautéed baby spinach and mushrooms onto a plate. Make sure not to break the yolk.
• Garnish with extra salt, pepper, or grated cheese if desired.
• Enjoy your quick and nutritious breakfast!
• Using whole baby spinach leaves adds a delightful texture to the dish, and it's still a simple and healthy breakfast option. Enjoy!
