Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup fresh spinach
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 2 tablespoons shredded cheese (optional)
Instructions
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil, swirling to coat the pan.
While the skillet heats, crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt, and black pepper, then whisk until fully combined.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and let it wilt slightly, about 1 minute.
Pour the egg mixture directly over the spinach in the skillet. Stir constantly with a spatula, gently folding the eggs and spinach together as they cook.
Continue stirring until the eggs are just set and creamy, about 2-3 minutes. For extra richness, sprinkle shredded cheese over the scramble in the last minute of cooking, if desired.
Remove from heat and serve hot as-is, or pair with toast or avocado for a complete meal.
