Professional Step-by-Step Preparation

  1. Spinach sauté: In a nonstick skillet with one tablespoon of EVOO, lightly brown the chopped garlic. Add the fresh spinach (you can do it in batches if it all doesn't fit, since it wilts quickly). Cook for 2-3 minutes until reduced. Drain off any excess water it releases.

  2. Egg preparation: In a bowl, beat the eggs with the teaspoon of turmeric and black pepper. Pepper is key, since piperine increases curcumin absorption by up to 2000%.

  3. Technical seasoning: Add the teaspoon of Bonsalt to the beaten eggs. Its potassium content will perfectly complement the mineral naturally present in spinach.

  4. Mix: Add the sautéed spinach to the bowl with the egg and mix well so it is thoroughly coated.

  5. Setting: Heat the remaining EVOO in the skillet. Pour in the mixture and cook over medium heat. When the edges are set, flip it with a plate and cook on the other side for 1-2 minutes (depending on how runny you like it).

  6. Serving: Serve hot. Its vibrant yellow color makes it irresistible to the eye.
