For a vegetarian option, omit the bacon and use 2 additional tablespoons of butter or olive oil. Consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a touch of heat. Freshly grated nutmeg can also add a warm, aromatic note. Ensure the spinach is thoroughly dried before adding it to the skillet to prevent it from becoming soggy. Serve with lemon wedges for brightness.
