Spinach and Egg "Pizza"

This came about because I still had a small container of cooked spinach left over in the refrigerator I wanted to use.

What to do:  Preheat oven to 350.  Saute chopped spinach, chopped onion, minced garlic in a pat of butter or a little olive oil.




Spread spinach mixture over a whole wheat tortilla and top with some shredded cheese.  Break one large egg in center of tortilla.





Bake until egg is just set, about 15 minutes.

Use a fork or spoon to break the yolk and spread the egg a little over the top of the tortilla and add some salsa.





Cut into wedges (a pizza cutter works perfectly) and serve.  This is very hearty and should satisfy the biggest of appetites!




Ingredient notes:  Whole wheat tortillas are readily available, cheap, and keep well in the freezer in resealable bags.  They can be used as the base for all sorts of toppings.  Frozen spinach is also easy to find, almost never more than about a dollar for a 12-oz bag (often less) and lends itself well to throwin' in at the last minute when you want to add some nutritional punch to something, or a little color.
