Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 15 mins
Cuisine: Breakfast
Serves: 2 servings
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 4 eggs, 2 cups of fresh spinach, 1/4 cup of crumbled feta cheese, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Wash the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold running water to remove any dirt or grit. Once cleaned, shake off excess water and roughly chop the spinach if the leaves are large.
- In a medium bowl, crack the 4 eggs. Whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined. Season with a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat for about 1 minute until it shimmers but does not smoke.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the spinach is wilted and tender.
- Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the wilted spinach. Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds to start setting.
- Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs and spinach together, allowing the uncooked egg to flow to the bottom of the skillet. Continue to cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and fluffy.
- Once the eggs are cooked to your liking, remove the skillet from the heat. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top of the scramble and gently fold it in.
- Taste the scramble and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper if necessary.
- Serve the spinach scramble immediately while hot, garnished with extra feta or a sprinkle of black pepper if desired. Enjoy your nutritious breakfast!
Tips
- Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, use fresh spinach and high-quality feta cheese. Organic options are great if available!
- Egg Whisking: Whisk the eggs thoroughly to incorporate air, which will make your scramble light and fluffy.
- Don’t Overcook: Keep an eye on the eggs while cooking. Remove them from the heat while they are still slightly soft; they will continue to cook from residual heat.
- Customize: Feel free to add other ingredients like diced tomatoes, bell peppers, or onions for extra flavor and nutrition.
- Serving Suggestions: Serve your spinach scramble with whole-grain toast or a side of fresh fruit for a well-rounded breakfast.
