San Francisco Joe's Special

I find myself morally opposed to post a recipe without a picture... No rhyme or reason... but I didn't have a picture of this little dinner delight. So instead I posted a fuzzy photo of the golden gate bridge for you to look at. After all, it is in San Francisco... and I guess they eat this recipe there since it's named after it! This recipe is courtesy of Dr. Schwarzbein in her book, "The Schwarzbein Principle". It's a page turner!
Necessary components of this recipe:
1 bunch spinach (about 1 C cooked)~ well-drained and chopped: or 8 oz package frozen (thawed and drained and chopped)
1/2 pound sirloin burger or ground turkey
2 Tbsp butter
1/2 C chopped white onion
1 minced garlic clove
1/2 tsp. oregano
pepper to taste
4 eggs
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
To create:
Wash spinach well, remove stems. With water still clinging to leaves, place in a heavy medium saucepan with a tight-fitting lid. Turn heat to med-high and steam until leaves are wilted, about 3 min. Drain in colander, pressing out all liquid with the back of a wooden spoon. Chop coarsely and set aside.
In a medium skillet, cook hamburger over medium heat until browned, breaking apart lumps with a wooden spoon. Remove meat from pan, drain fate and set aside.
In large nonstick skillet, melt butter over a med-high heat. When butter is hot and bubbly, add onion and garlic and saute until softened, about 5 min. Stir in oregano and black pepper. Add spinach and burger meat and stir until spinach is heated through.
In a small bowl, using a fork, beat eggs and pour over meat mix. Gently stir mixture until cooked to your liking. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Taste, and adjust seasonings.
Serve immediately. Makes 2 servings.
