Raise heat and add spinach stirring constantly until spinach wilts, approximately 2 minutes, then add salt, pepper and egg and continue stirring as egg loses softness.

Personal Notes:
Another fabulous recipe from local restauranteur Big John. This one is a true delight, especially if you love your vegetables.

Editor's Note: Pete Emerson was another lifetime friend of Daddy's that liked to go eat with Daddy and J.B. Since I didn't have a picture of J.B., this one seemed appropriate.
