Spinach with Eggs and Mozzarella, the Side Dish Becomes a Main Course

Spinach with eggs and mozzarella to turn the classic side dish into a main course, to enjoy with a good slice of homemade bread. I love spinach and prepare it often; when I can, I get it fresh, but I won’t hide the fact that I always keep a ready-to-use pack in the freezer, so when I feel like something light, I take them out and in a moment prepare them in a pan, without boiling them. They are simply excellent with butter and salt, but when I want to turn the side dish into a main course, here’s the idea of adding eggs and mozzarella, because just mozzarella wasn’t enough for our ravenous appetites. The recipe is for 2 people; let’s see how to make it in a few minutes.
