Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Whisk together the eggs and heavy cream in a medium bowl until well combined and the mixture is smooth.
Season the egg mixture with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, stirring until incorporated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter until it just begins to foam.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Stir occasionally with a spatula.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet.
Let the eggs sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then gently stir with the spatula, folding the eggs from the edges to the center.
Continue cooking and gently stirring the eggs until they are just set but still creamy, about 3-4 minutes. Do not overcook.
Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the eggs, giving them a final gentle stir to incorporate the cheese.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the scrambled eggs immediately on warmed plates.
