Ingredients

SERVINGS: 4 Serving(s)
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 cup chopped onion
  • 1 pound sliced mushrooms, cremini or button
  • 1 pound Saint Adrian’s Meats & Sausages dry aged ground beef*
  • 1 pound fresh spinach, washed, dried and chopped into thin ribbons
  • 6 eggs, lightly beaten
  • Salt and pepper
  • ½ cup finely chopped green onions, tops only
  • 1/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Heat the oil in a large non-stick skillet and add the diced onion. Cook for a few minutes and then add the mushrooms.

Cook the onions and mushrooms until the mushrooms begin to brown a bit. Remove the onion and mushroom mixture from the pan to a heat proof bowl.

Add the ground beef to the skillet and, breaking it up with a wooden spoon or spatula, cook until it is no longer pink. Remove any accumulated fat from the pan.

Add the mushroom-onion mixture and the chopped spinach.

Cook for a few minutes just until the spinach wilts, then add the eggs and stir for about 3-5 minutes or until the eggs are set.

Add salt and pepper to taste, top with green onions and cheese.

Serve immediately.

Cook’s Note: Saint Adrian’s Meats & Sausages dry ages their ground beef for 21-18 days.
