Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 medium onion
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a mixing bowl, add salt and black pepper, and whisk until well blended.
Wash the fresh spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry with a paper towel. Chop the spinach into roughly bite-sized pieces.
Peel the onion and dice it finely.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add the coconut oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the diced onions to the skillet and sauté for about 3-4 minutes or until they become translucent.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the onions and cook for another 2 minutes until the spinach wilts.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the beaten eggs over the spinach and onions, stirring gently with a spatula.
Continue to cook and gently stir the eggs until they are scrambled to your desired consistency, about 3-4 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and serve the eggs hot, adjusting seasoning if necessary.
