Make This Recipe
Ingredients
- 3 Eggland's Best eggs
- 6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Zest & juice from 1/2 lemon
- 2 cups fresh spinach, chopped
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese, grated (plus more for garnish, if desired)

Preparation
Chop fresh spinach and set aside.
Whisk eggs, salt, pepper and parmesan cheese together and set aside.
Bring chicken broth, lemon juice, lemon zest and garlic to a boil; add chopped spinach and mix to incorporate.
When broth is boiling, add eggs in a steady, slow stream, whisking broth rapidly to break eggs up as they are incorporated into the broth.
When all eggs are blended with broth, reduce heat to a simmer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Serve immediately; garnish with additional parmesan cheese if desired.
