O’Hara’s Fiery Spinach and Cheddar
Ingredients:
5 slices bacon
1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 small onion, chopped
8 large eggs
¾ tsp. salt
½ tsp. hot red pepper sauce
1 (10 oz.) box frozen chopped spinach, thawed and dried
¾ C. (3 oz.) shredded sharp cheddar cheese
Directions:
Place the bacon in a large skillet. Cook over medium heat until the bacon is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to paper towels to drain cool. Discard the bacon fat or save it for another use. Coarsely chop the bacon. Heat the oil in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden, about 5 minutes.
Meanwhile, beat the eggs, salt, and red pepper sauce well in a medium bowl. Stir in the spinach and bacon, and mix well to break up the spinach. Pour into the skillet with the onion and cook until the edges begin to set. Using a rubber spatula, lift up an edge of the mixture, and tilt the skillet so the uncooked eggs run underneath the set portion. Continue cooking, occasionally lifting the edge and tilting the skillet, until the top is almost set, about 4 minutes.
Sprinkle the top with the shredded cheese. Cover skillet with a lid and cook on low heat until the top is puffed and the cheddar has melted, about 3 minutes. Cut into wedges and serve hot or cooled to room temperature.
