Frequently Asked Questions About Spinach egg (with onion)

What is spinach egg with onion?

Spinach egg with onion is a simple cooked dish of wilted spinach, sautéed onion, and eggs, often served warm straight from the pan. The eggs may be stirred through the greens or cooked whole on top.

How do you keep spinach egg with onion from turning watery?

To keep spinach egg with onion from turning watery, dry washed spinach well and cook it in a wide pan until its released liquid evaporates. Add the eggs only after the vegetables are no longer swimming in liquid.

Can you use frozen spinach in spinach egg with onion?

Yes, frozen spinach works in spinach egg with onion. Thaw it first and squeeze out excess water, then cook it with the onion until hot before adding the eggs; this helps the finished dish stay soft rather than soupy.

Should the eggs be scrambled or left whole in spinach egg with onion?

Either method works for spinach egg with onion. Stir the eggs into the spinach for an even, soft mixture, or make wells in the greens and crack the eggs into them if you prefer distinct whites and runny yolks.
