- 1 onion, finely chopped
- Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions:
Prepare the spinach.
- Thoroughly rinse the spinach leaves to get rid of any grit or debris. After draining, put away.

- Cook the Eggs: Make tiny wells in the combination of onions and spinach, then break one egg into each well. Add pepper and salt for seasoning.
- After the eggs are cooked to your preferred doneness, cover the pan with a lid. Cook for roughly 3 to 5 minutes for set whites and runny yolks to form.
- Add Cheese: After the eggs are almost done, top the spinach and eggs with the shredded cheese. To let the cheese melt, cover the pan once more for approximately a minute.
- Serving: Take the pan off the burner as soon as the cheese is bubbling and melted. Serve hot straight out of the pan for a filling breakfast or a healthy dinner at any time of day.
