The Turkish spinach and egg dish known as ispanakli yumurta resembles Middle Eastern shakshuka, but spinach takes the place of a tomato-based sauce. Prepackaged baby spinach makes the recipe quick to prepare—the key is to cook it very briefly so it doesn’t become watery. Frozen spinach also works well; just thaw it, drain it in a colander and, if it’s still very wet, pat it dry with paper towels. This dish often is served with yogurt. We stir some in with the spinach to create a rich, creamy sauce that won’t break under moderate heat. Serve flatbread alongside.

Delicious!
Really like this recipe exactly as written. Quick, easy, healthy, and tasty. The spinach on its own also makes a great side.
