Creamed Spinach Breakfast Sandwiches

  • SERVES: 4
  • PREP: 30 minutes
  • TOTAL TIME: 40 minutes

A triple threat of melty cheese, a runny yolk, and decadent creamed spinach.

I am always trying to find new ways to eat eggs anytime of day or night—from Adeena's Greenas with jammy eggs to a grown-up version of egg-in-a-hole with mushroom sauce—and I think I've found my new favorite way to eat them. Creamed spinach breakfast sandwiches are an ultra decadent way to start the day, inspired a little bit by eggs Florentine and a lotta bit by the iconic steakhouse side dish. When combined with the runny yolk of a sunny egg and melty American cheese, it's a trifecta of velvety, rich goodness that miiight just take the top spot of my favorite breakfast sandwich. (Sorry, John—yours are still great.)

Cast Iron is the secret to restaurant-quality textures: think crispy fried eggs, perfectly seared steak, and crusty cornbread. It can cook almost anything and will last a lifetime. Naturally nonstick for no-fuss cleanup Use on the stovetop, in the oven, or even over a campfire Unlike most cast iron, seasoning (the process of baking oil into the pan) is not required
