8 cups fresh baby spinach
1 cup chopped tomatoes
2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1-1/2 cups chopped fully cooked ham
1 small onion, chopped
1 small green pepper, chopped
4 large eggs
Salt and pepper to taste
1. Arrange spinach and tomatoes on a platter; set aside. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium-high heat. Add ham, onion and green pepper; saute until ham is heated through and vegetables are tender, 5 to 7 minutes. Spoon over spinach and tomatoes.
2. In same skillet, heat remaining olive oil over medium heat. Break eggs, 1 at a time, into a small cup, then gently slide into skillet. Immediately reduce heat to low; season with salt and pepper. To prepare sunny-side up eggs, cover pan and cook until whites are completely set and yolks thicken but are not hard. Top salad with fried eggs.
I love this recipe—it's not your typical breakfast, but it has all the right elements: easy, healthy and fast. Turn your favorite omelet ingredients into a morning salad!
