Egg & Spinach Breakfast Skillet

One pan. Five minutes. Zero regrets.

Let’s talk about breakfast — or dinner pretending to be breakfast because you couldn’t face cooking until 8:47pm. Whether you’re a morning person or a night owl who thinks “scrambled eggs count as a meal,” this Egg & Spinach Skillet has your back.

Packed with zinc, protein, and antioxidants, it’s fast, affordable, and cooked in one small pan. And best of all? It works for any meal where toast just isn’t going to cut it.

🛒 Ingredients for One

2 eggs
1 cup baby spinach
¼ red capsicum, diced
1 tbsp milk (optional – makes the eggs creamier)
Olive oil, salt, pepper
Your favourite dried herbs (think oregano, basil, or chilli flakes)

Optional extras:
– A sprinkle of feta or grated cheese
– A slice of grainy toast on the side
– A spoonful of pesto or chilli relish for flair

🍳 How to Skillet Like a Pro

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a small skillet or frying pan over medium heat.
Add the capsicum and spinach. Stir for a minute or two until the spinach wilts and capsicum softens.
Crack in your eggs directly into the pan.
– Scramble them if you’re feeling casual.
– Fry them sunny-side-up if you want a runny yolk moment.
– Add milk if you like soft, fluffy curds (a mini luxury move).
Season with salt, pepper, and your favourite herbs.
Cook until the eggs are just right for you, then slide it all onto a plate. Or don’t. Eat straight from the pan. We’re all adults here.

🌿 Why It’s Worth Making (Again and Again)

Eggs give you quality protein, healthy fats, and zinc to support immunity.
Spinach adds antioxidants and iron without the fanfare.
Capsicum sneaks in vitamin C, even when it’s cold and grey outside.

All that goodness in under 10 minutes? That’s solo eating done smart.

💡 Not Just for Brekkie

This skillet’s a bit of a chameleon. Here’s how to remix it:

Dinner skillet: Add canned beans or chopped leftover roast veg.
Brunch upgrade: Top with avocado slices and a splash of hot sauce.
Low-effort dinner party for one: Pour a cheeky glass of wine and serve with sourdough.

It’s the kind of meal that makes you feel sorted — even if your inbox is not.
