Original Joe's
“The name “Joe’s” was a generic name that dates back to the Barbary Coast in San Francisco. During the 1920’s, a group of entrepreneurs decided to open a new restaurant on Broadway Street in San Francisco….it was also a restaurant where the “Joe’s Special” was created. Folklore has it that a customer ordered a spinach omelet very late at night. The customer asked the chef if he had anything else available to cook. The chef replied he had some hamburger left. The customer asked him to throw some of the hamburger into his omelet. The dish became so popular that they eventually put it on the menu.”
Thus, this is a very easy recipe to make and you probably have the ingredients already in your kitchen!

Joe's Special
Ingredients
-eggs (1 egg for each person eating the dish)
-splash or two of Tabasco
-approx. 1 t. oregano
-salt and pepper
-extra virgin olive oil (enough to cover the bottom of the pan)
-1 T. unsalted butter
-1 medium onion, diced
-1 clove garlic, minced
-92% lean ground beef (use enough for the group you are serving)
-1 lb. fresh spinach
Step by Step
1. Whisk eggs, Tabasco, oregano, salt, and pepper together.
2. Over medium heat, heat EVOO and butter until the butter melts. Add onion and garlic. Watch that the garlic doesn't burn.
3. Add in ground beef. (I added more Tabasco over the meat). Stir until brown.
4. Cover with spinach.
When the spinach begins to soften, make a "nest" and pour egg mixture in. Continue to stir together until the egg scrambles. It doesn't hurt to add in a bit more salt/pepper and/or Tabasco.
I served with a piece of garlic bread. I would also recommend serving with salsa. Ours turned out to be a bit dry (and we love salsa).
And....
For dessert we had strawberries!!! From PLANT CITY, FLORIDA!!! They are the BEST!!!
