Key ingredients

You’re probably aware that eggs Florentine features spinach (along with eggs, of course). This eggs Florentine omelet recipe has both of those, along with just six other ingredients.

Here is what you need to make this eggs Florentine omelet recipe:

Coconut oil: Instead of troublesome vegetable and seed oils, this recipe opts for coconut oil instead. Full of healthy medium-chain triglycerides, coconut oil is a healthy alternative to less heat-stable oils or oils that can oxidize and contain toxins.
Eggs: Eggs are a rich source of protein and choline, and these breakfast staples also provide a hearty dose of minerals, B vitamins and vitamin A. Some are even fortified with vitamin D, which is not prevalent in many foods.
Garlic: One of the most popular herbs and spices on the planet — and one of the healthiest too — garlic adds a burst of flavor and plenty of health benefits as well.
Goat cheese: Another source of protein and healthy fats, goat cheese also is high in calcium, provides natural probiotics, and is a good source of B vitamins, copper and phosphorus. It’s also satiating, which could help with portion control and weight management.
Mushrooms: Research is just beginning to understand just how powerful mushrooms can be for health. These immune-boosting fungi have been shown to protect heart and immune health, while promoting better brain function and so much more.
Onion: The versatile onion contains vitamin C, B vitamins, manganese, potassium, phosphorus and more. In addition to a concentrated dose of nutrition, onions also amp up the flavor of just about any recipe they’re in.
Spinach: Spinach nutrition is bursting with benefits, most notably protecting bone health thanks to its high vitamin K content. It’s a true superfood that protects against disease and supports overall health.

This recipe also includes sun-dried tomatoes, and you can add other veggies of your choosing if you desire.
