Original Recipe Yield 6 servings
 

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 pounds ground beef
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained
  • 6 eggs
  • salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef, and cook, stirring to crumble, until no longer pink, about 8 minutes. Pour off any excess grease, then stir in the garlic, onions, and mushrooms. Reduce heat to medium, cover, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Stir in the nutmeg, oregano, spinach, salt, and pepper and cook until the spinach is heated through.
  2. Reduce heat to medium-low, and make 6 egg-sized indentations into the beef and spinach mixture. Crack the eggs into the each indentation, then cover, and continue cooking until the eggs are done to your liking, about 5 minutes more for medium.
