Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large Eggs
- 2 cups Fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon Chopped fresh chives (optional)
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, black pepper, and garlic powder. Whisk together until the mixture is well blended and the egg yolks are completely incorporated into the whites.
Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly under cold running water and pat them dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop the spinach if desired.
In a non-stick skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-low heat, ensuring it coats the entire surface of the skillet.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes, or until just wilted, stirring often.
Pour the egg mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet. Allow the eggs to set slightly around the edges, about 1-2 minutes.
Using a spatula, gently push the eggs from the edges towards the center, forming soft curds. Continue doing this until the eggs are thickened and no visible liquid egg remains, about 3-4 minutes. Avoid over-stirring to maintain a creamy texture.
Remove the scrambled eggs from the heat slightly before they reach your desired doneness as they will continue to cook from residual heat.
Garnish with chopped fresh chives if using, and serve immediately.
