Notes
This recipe can be made with fresh or frozen spinach. If you are using frozen spinach, make sure to defrost and squeeze out all of the extra liquid prior to mixing it into the egg mixture. Although, there is no need to cook the frozen spinach prior to using it as long as you squeeze out the excess liquid.
This recipe can be used with liquid egg whites in a container or from fresh eggs, whatever your preference is!
