What do you serve with this
If you serve Spankopita baked eggs for breakfast, it’s great on its own, or you can add a little more fruit or Breakfast potatoes.
If you eat it for dinner, this egg dish will be a great main dish served with plate Greek salad And pita bread or a side dish Grilled salmon or chickens.
Tips for ingredients:
- Spinach needs only about 90% of the ice to thaw because the rest will happen during cooking. You can dissolve it in one of four ways:
- Overnight in the fridge
- In the microwave
- In a bowl of cold water for a few minutes
- Boil in boiling water and rinse with cold water
- I like adding salt to onions right away to draw water out of them – it helps them cook faster when there’s not much oil.
- I use diamond crystal, which is the least salty kosher salt. This recipe uses a teaspoon of salt, but you can cut back on it if you are on a low-sodium diet. Lemon juice also helps bring out the flavors in this egg baking.
