    Kayb's Notes: I don't like spinach. It's a green. Growing up poor, in the South, in the country, we ate greens. Often. Usually turnip greens. And it ruined me for cooked greens. Fast forward several years...

  2. Cook bacon in a large skillet until almost crisp. If you're fat-conscious, drain all but 2 tablespoons of drippings; if not, leave them all in. Add garlic and cook until fragrant.

  3. Add spinach and saute until barely starting to wilt. Remove from heat, stir in diced eggs, and splash with balsamic vinegar. Serve immediately, topped with freshly grated parmegiano or pecorino or even asiago.

Great recipe note! I love to know why people make what they make for dinner. I think hiding disliked ingredients behind bacon and garlic is always a good idea. I grew up eating liver once a month on that principal.

Looks like a great recipe for grown-ups, too! Mmmm, yum. I love recipes with just a few well-coordinated ingredients, thoughtfully prepared. Thank you for posting this. ;o)

You're most welcome. It ALMOST makes me like spinach. (Which, actually, I do like in salads....)
