Scrambled Eggs with Spinach Recipe

Ingredients

• 4 large eggs

• 1 cup fresh spinach, chopped

• 1-2 teaspoons olive oil or butter

• Salt and pepper to taste

• Optional: 2 tablespoons milk (or cream) for creaminess

• Whole grain bread (for serving)

 

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Eggs

1. Crack the Eggs: In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together. If desired, add milk or cream for creaminess. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 2: Cook the Spinach

1. Heat the Pan: In a non-stick skillet, heat olive oil or butter over medium heat.

2. Sauté Spinach: Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until wilted. If you prefer your spinach well-cooked, you can sauté it a bit longer.

Step 3: Scramble the Eggs

1. Add Eggs to Skillet: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the sautéed spinach.

2. Cook Gently: Let the eggs sit for a few seconds, then gently stir with a spatula. Continue to cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are softly scrambled and just set. Remove from heat before they are fully cooked, as they will continue to cook from residual heat.

Step 4: Serve

1. Toast Bread: While cooking the eggs, toast the whole grain bread to your liking.

2. Plate the Dish: Serve the soft scrambled eggs with spinach alongside the toasted whole grain bread.

 

Tips

• Add Cheese: For extra flavor, consider adding shredded cheese (like feta or cheddar) to the scrambled eggs just before removing from heat.

• Experiment with Add-Ins: Feel free to add diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or onions to the spinach for additional flavor and nutrition.

• Cooking Temperature: Cooking the eggs over medium-low heat helps achieve a soft and creamy texture.
