Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 0.25 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.125 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk the mixture until fully combined and slightly frothy.
Melt the butter in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the butter is melted and bubbling, add the fresh spinach.
Sauté the spinach for about 2-3 minutes until it is wilted and reduced in size.
Lower the heat to medium-low and pour the egg mixture over the spinach in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to cook undisturbed for about 30 seconds before gently stirring with a spatula. Continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the eggs are just set but still slightly creamy, about 3-4 minutes.
Sprinkle the cheddar cheese evenly over the eggs and gently fold it through until melted and the eggs are fully cooked, about 1-2 more minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and let the scrambled eggs rest for a minute before serving.
Serve the scrambled eggs immediately while hot, optionally garnishing with additional cheese or herbs if desired.
