Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup packed fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon crumbled feta cheese
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon milk (or water)
- Pinch of salt
- Pinch of black pepper
Instructions
- Step 1: In a medium bowl, whisk the 2 large eggs with 1 tablespoon of milk (or water), a pinch of salt, and a pinch of black pepper until well combined and slightly frothy. Roughly chop the fresh spinach if using large leaves.
- Step 2: Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chopped spinach and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted.
- Step 3: Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet with the wilted spinach. Let the eggs set for about 30 seconds without stirring.
- Step 4: Using a spatula, gently push the cooked egg from the edges towards the center, tilting the pan to allow uncooked egg to flow underneath. Continue this process, folding and stirring occasionally, until the eggs are mostly set but still slightly moist.
- Step 5: Just before the eggs are fully cooked, sprinkle in the 1 tablespoon of crumbled feta cheese. Gently fold the cheese into the eggs for about 15-30 seconds until heated through.
- Step 6: Remove from heat immediately and serve hot.
Notes
- While these scrambled eggs are truly best enjoyed fresh, any leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to one day to maintain their quality.
- To bring back their lovely moisture, gently reheat any cooled portions in a non-stick skillet over very low heat, adding a tiny splash of milk or water, or microwave briefly on a low setting until just warm.
- Enjoy these vibrant, protein-packed eggs immediately on their own, or elevate your meal by pairing them with a slice of whole-grain toast, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a side of sliced avocado for extra healthy fats.
- For perfectly fluffy and moist scrambled eggs, whisk your eggs well with the milk and remember the golden rule: cook them gently over medium heat, folding rather than stirring vigorously, and always remove them from the heat *just* as they are set but still glistening and slightly moist.
