Looks like there’s no points, hopefully Smart Points will be posted for it.
Thanks for letting us know. Smart Points have been added.
Looks so yummy but I do like the white over the yolk to cook but LOVE runny yolks so I’ll probably experiment with covering the pan for part of those 2 to 3 minutes. This will be a creamy & satisfying breakfast, thank you for posting!
Your ingredient list doesn’t include the olive oil nor the amount used to saute the spinach, so does your nutritional information include it in the calculations?
It’s now added to the ingredients. So sorry about the ommission.
can you use egg whites instead
Carolyn, Sure can! 🙂
