Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and whisk them together until the yolks and whites are fully combined.
Add the salt and ground black pepper to the eggs and whisk again to incorporate.
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel.
In a large non-stick skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat until melted and shimmering.
Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the beaten eggs over the wilted spinach in the skillet.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs continuously, lifting and folding them as they cook, to form soft curds.
Once the eggs are mostly set but still slightly runny, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the eggs.
Continue cooking the eggs for an additional 1-2 minutes, until the cheese begins to melt, and the eggs are fully cooked to your liking.
Remove the skillet from the heat and immediately transfer the scrambled eggs to plates.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
