Cooks' Note

Eggs are an excellent and inexpensive protein source. In addition, the spinach provides significant amounts of the recommended daily allowance of vitamin A, vitamin C, and folate, as well as the minerals calcium and magnesium. If you prefer to use frozen spinach, know that a 10-ounce package will yield 1 cup cooked.
