- 1 large onion, sliced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 6 cups baby spinach*
- 4 large eggs
- ½ teaspoon ground turmeric

Directions:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
- Add the sliced onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden—about 8 minutes.

- Make four shallow wells in the spinach mixture with a spoon, and crack an egg into each one.
- Cover the skillet and cook on medium-low until the eggs are done to your liking, about 5 to 8 minutes.
- Serve warm with bread for dipping—lavash, pita, or toast all work beautifully.
