One-Pan Creamed Spinach With Eggs  Recipe (2024)

If you don't want the extra calories and really enjoy spinach, please know that this preparation tastes very good using just the spinach. I make it all the time using straight from the freezer chopped spinach into an oiled frying pan. When the spinach is thawed and cooked, I add one or two eggs. It's a great, quick and tasty meal for one person. Such recipes are easily adaptable.Have fun and enjoy.

Rich and fantastic. Not me, but the dish. Made with cream cheese and goat cheese. This is a recipe with which you can have fun experimenting. (Note: No prepositions were harmed or dangled in the previous sentence.). If you want your yolks to be runny, start checking them EARLY. And remember that even when you take the pan off the burner, the yolks will firm up a bit when you tend to the bread/toast you forgot about until the last minute.

Subbed in plain Greek yogurt for the cream cheese.

A touch of nutmeg with sauteed onions or garlic clove. I think fresh spinach would be good as well, just cover to steam down. Lovely dish to make with your own touches!

Sure it’s a calorie bomb but if one is following a low carb diet, this would be good. Fat makes and keeps one full and satisfied. If you replace with light cream cheese, you add more carb calories that do not satisfy. Of course you can’t eat it with bread if following a low carb diet. If lost about 25 pounds eating this way and I don’t have any of the hunger, cravings and headaches I experienced with low calorie/low fat diets. Low fat products is what made the population grow fatter back.

This was delicious, super easy, most ingredients you already have on hand. I made it for dinner last night and my teen requested it again for tonight. One item I changed, when I made in the second time. I used half the cream cheese and I thought it tasted better with less cream cheese. Can’t go wrong either way. This will be on my dinner rotation and I will make it when my daughter comesHome from college. LOVED IT.

I used to go to a diner that served something very much like this, the artichoke hearts also nestled in the spinach. I’ll try to repeat that.

Serve with a dry martini with an olive. Divine!

Don't like the look of whole egg yolks. I wonder if you could beat them a bit and pour them into divots. Also, I'd use lite cream cheese. I also might sauté some onion and mushrooms first.

My Armenian grandmother would make something very similar to this only using purslane (per-per in Armenian). It’s delicious!

I love this! Add onions if you’d like, finish off with hot sauce. Yum.

I'm wondering about making this with soft goat cheese. Thoughts?

Every morning I sauté spinach and onions in olive oil and drop two fried eggs in at the end. Tomorrow I shall put in the cream cheese and garlic to add decadence to my day!

Delicious! Sautéed fresh spinach in 10 " cast iron pan without lid for a few minutes to give up liquid, then proceeded with rest of recipe minus salt. Whole dish took about 15 minutes. My husband couldn't stop raving about the dish!

Totally delicious. I halved the recipe, and added onion and chopped grape tomatoes I wanted to use up. It was absolutely speedy and tasty, on the table from start to finish in 15 minutes

Very delicious! I added in fresh arugula with fresh spinach, I will make this again. Thank you!

This is my go to comfort weekend breakfast/brunch -- I've made it multiple times with variations based on what's in the fridge and pantry (e.g., onions, different spices, bacon, a mix of greens), and I can easily halve it for just me. Never fails and SO good every time!

So easy. So delicious. Might consider halving the cream cheese to make less rich.

Could do with less cream cheese. (I used 6oz, but half a brick of Neufchatel would probably do it.) Really too much for two people, but was delicious. So easy! Pan was a mess, though.

I had all the ingredients, except cream cheese, so used most of a 7oz pkg of feta, and added slightly less salt. Drizzled with olive oil, as suggested and sprinkled with aleppo pepper. We loved it!

LOVED this, fastest pantry dinner ever, but I thought it benefited from a little fresh nutmeg grated in near the end. Ate it on hunks of ciabatta and adored it.

Loved this quick meal. Lactaid did not stand up to this recipe so the second time I made it without the cream cheese. Still wonderful. Happy gut.

Anyone try this with fresh spinach? If I use fresh spinach, how do I need to adapt it? (How much spinach; how long to cook?) Thanks!

Delicious, easy, fast, and cheap! Filling, too, since it's so rich. We're big fans!

I just wanted the creamed spinach, so I skipped the eggs but otherwise cooked it exactly as it was written. Even my picky husband loved it. It also makes a great hot dip!

@Persimmon: The yolk is where all the vitamins are, including quite a lot of the neurologically beneficial B6.

I left out the cream cheese and it was fine

Easy, fast, budget-friendly. Tons of flavor (I added extra seasoning). Loved it!

You can also replace (or mix) spinash by sorrel. Also the eggs by mackerel fillets.

In my family we have traditionally been preparing creamy spinach with milk, roux and garlic, and serving with eggs and mashed potatoes on the side.I'm very curious about the cream cheese version so giving this a try for sure.
