Scrambled eggs with spinach

One of our favorite placed to eat breakfast is Kirby Lane Cafe. It is an Austin, Texas icon. I had the scrambled eggs and spinach the last time we ate there and it was fantastic. I tried to recreate it for our Christmas Eve breakfast.

1/2 cup raw spinach
salt and pepper to taste

2 T. cream of mushroom soup and a splash of milk
English Muffins - toasted
Method:
Toast your English Muffin
Cook your bacon
In a separate skillet, add the eggs and milk. Cook until almost done and add the spinach, and the soup and milk mixture.
To assemble, place the English Muffin on the bottom. Add the cooked bacon or ham. Top with cooked egg mixture. This will do until I can get back to Kirby Lane.
