In a small bowl, whisk the eggs with the salt and pepper. Add the egg mixture and the Parmesan to the spinach mixture, mixing well with a spatula to combine.
In a nonstick frying pan or on a griddle, heat oil to medium-high. Add scoops of spinach mixture (about 1/2 cup each) to pan and press gently to flatten. Cook 3-4 minutes on each side, until pancakes are browned and crispy. Drain on paper towels before serving.
