    Assyrians call this recipe "Beeah ooh Spanakh" which translates to "eggs and spinach."

    🧐Why This Recipe Works

    This recipe wasn't something I grew up eating. It wasn't until I started a low carb diet and needed some variety in my breakfast choices that I remembered this dish. This dish reminds me of spanakopita without the phyllo dough.

    The good news is, you don't have to be on a low-carb diet to enjoy this recipe. There are a variety of ways to prepare this dish. You can stuff the scrambled eggs in puff pastry, especially if you are not on a low-carb diet. Whichever way you decide to serve it, I guarantee it will be a hit!
