Cook time: 30 min
Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 6 large eggs; Tabasco sauce (to taste); 1 teaspoon salt (or to taste); ½ teaspoon dried basil or ½ teaspoon oregano; ½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper; 1 tablespoon olive oil; 1 tablespoon unsalted butter; 1 medium yellow onion, diced; 12 lb lean ground beef (preferably chili grind); 34-1 lb fresh spinach, trimmed of stems and chopped (or one 10-ounce pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained)

Servings: persons

6 large eggs
Tabasco sauce (to taste)
1 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
½ teaspoon dried basil or ½ teaspoon oregano
½ teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, diced
12 lb lean ground beef (preferably chili grind)
34-1 lb fresh spinach, trimmed of stems and chopped (or one 10-ounce pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed and drained)

1
Break open the eggs into a small bowl; add in the Tabasco, salt, basil, and pepper; whisk to combine (you should still see large bubbles); set aside.
2
Heat the oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat until the butter melts.
3
Add in the onion; stir/saute for 4 minutes or until soft but not beginning to brown.
4
Add in the ground beef; continue cooking until meat is browned, breaking meat into small pieces as it cooks.
5
Cover with the spinach, place the lid over the mixture, and cook for about 3 minutes, just until the spinach wilts (if using thawed frozen spinach, cook, covered, for 1 minute).
6
Stir the spinach into the meat, cooking briefly to eliminate excess liquid if the mixture seems watery.
7
Pour the egg mixture over all; stirring with a spatula from the bottom until the eggs begin to set.
8
Remove from heat and stir a few more times; serve immediately.
