Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until the eggs and cream are well combined and slightly frothy.
In a large non-stick skillet, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Ensure that the butter evenly coats the bottom of the skillet.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet, cooking for 1-2 minutes until it wilts down slightly.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the spinach.
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for about 30 seconds, then begin to slowly stir with a spatula, pulling the eggs from the edges toward the center. This slow cooking method makes the eggs creamy.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese over the top.
Continue to gently stir and fold the eggs until the cheese is melted and the eggs are cooked to your desired level of doneness.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired.
