Print Recipe

Enjoy a quick and nutritious meal with fluffy scrambled eggs and fresh spinach. This easy-to-make dish is perfect for any time of day and can be customized with cheese and herbs for added flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs
  • 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped
  • 1/4 cup milk (or cream for a richer taste)
  • 1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste
  • 1/4 cup shredded cheese (optional, cheddar or feta recommended)
  • Fresh herbs for garnish (optional, such as chives or parsley)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Ingredients: Gather all your ingredients and lay them out on the counter for easy access.
  2. Chop the Spinach: Rinse the spinach under cold water, pat dry, and chop into bite-sized pieces.
  3. Crack the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs one at a time to avoid shell mishaps.
  4. Add Milk: Pour in the milk (or cream) to the eggs for a fluffy texture.
  5. Season the Mixture: Add salt and black pepper, then whisk until fully combined and slightly frothy.
  6. Heat the Pan: Place a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add butter or olive oil, letting it melt.
  7. Sauté the Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the pan and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted and bright green.
  8. Combine with Eggs: Pour the egg mixture directly into the skillet over the sautéed spinach.
  9. Stir Gently: Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs and spinach together, pushing the eggs from the edges toward the center.
  10. Cook to Desired Doneness: Continue cooking for 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If using cheese, add it in the last minute to melt.
  11. Taste and Adjust Seasoning: Before serving, taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
  12. Plate the Eggs: Remove the skillet from heat and scoop the eggs onto a plate.
  13. Garnish: Sprinkle fresh herbs on top for added flavor and color.
  14. Enjoy: Serve immediately, pairing with toast, avocado, or crispy bacon.

Notes

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overcooking; aim for a slightly undercooked texture as eggs continue to cook off the heat.
  • Feel free to experiment with additional ingredients like diced tomatoes, onions, or bell peppers for extra flavor.
