Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups baby spinach
- 0.25 cup feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and add the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together until the mixture is fully combined and slightly frothy.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the butter. Allow it to melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
Add the baby spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Let it sit for about 30 seconds without stirring to allow the eggs to start to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, bringing them from the edges to the center, until they begin to form soft curds.
When the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top.
Continue to cook for an additional minute, gently folding the eggs and cheese together until the eggs are fully cooked but still soft and creamy.
Remove from heat immediately and transfer to serving plates. Serve hot.
