Steps

Heat butter and 1 Tbsp of olive oil in a large non-stick pan over stove on medium-high heat.
Add leeks once butter begins to foam and season with salt and pepper.
Sauté until leeks are soft, about 3 minutes.
Bring to a boil and cook until most of the liquid has evaporated, about 4-5 minutes.
Carefully add spinach and cook until wilted, about 1 minute. Then lower heat to medium.
Make small indents in the mixture with a spoon and crack an egg into each indent.
Sprinkle cheese, salt and pepper over top, then cover pan.
Simmer until egg whites are cooked and yolks are cooked to your liking, about 4-5 minutes.
Serve and enjoy!
