"Made this for breakfast today and it was SO filling and wonderful. The eggs are very creamy and flavorful when cooked in this way. This is a phase one South Beach Diet recipe, but you would never guess it! You can also make your own salsa."

This was really good - and easy on the waistline, too! I used less spinach and just covered the pan and continued cooking after adding the cheese instead of baking in the oven. Also added salt & pepper to the egg mixture. A dollop of medium hot garlic salsa was just the right touch! Thank you for sharing!
