Lean & Green Balsamic Spinach & Egg Skillet

A Delicious & Quick one pan skillet meal.

 Ingredients:

olive or avocado oil cooking spray

2 1/2 cups fresh baby spinach leaves

3 tablespoons Walden Farms Zero Calorie Balsamic Vinaigrette

1 ounce 98% lean sliced ham or cooked turkey bacon

1 egg

1 ounce reduced fat Havarti or other cheese of your choice (sliced or grated)

1/2 cup halved cherry or grape tomatoes

1/4 teaspoon black pepper (optional)

Method:

Lightly spray a skillet with cooking oil spray. Add the spinach and dressing to the skillet and cook over medium heat. Add the ham and stir just until the spinach is slightly wilted. Clear a space in the center of the spinach to crack an egg into. Cover with a lid to help the egg white to cook. Remove lid to place cheese on top of the egg. Cover and continue cooking until the cheese is melted. 

Carefully slide the spinach and egg mixture onto a plate and garnish with the tomatoes. If desired, sprinkle black pepper on top. Makes one serving.

One serving (with black pepper) equals:  89% (25/28) lean portion, 3 greens & 2 condiments (without the black pepper: 1 1/2 condiments.)

Note: Sometimes a new recipe is created because I want to use the ingredients I happen to have on hand. I was inspired to make this dish because I had an abundance of spinach, one ounce of chopped ham and some balsamic dressing.
