Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 0.5 cup cheddar cheese
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a bowl, add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Rinse the spinach under cold water and pat it dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop the spinach if the leaves are large.
Grate the cheddar cheese if not already grated.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter.
Add the spinach to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until it wilts, about 2-3 minutes.
Pour the egg mixture into the skillet over the spinach. Allow it to sit for a moment until the edges start to set.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pushing them from the edges towards the center to allow uncooked eggs to flow into empty skillet space. Repeat this process to scramble the eggs.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, sprinkle the cheese evenly over the mixture.
Continue cooking, gently stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set and the cheese has melted, approximately 2 more minutes.
Serve the scrambled eggs hot, and enjoy your meal.
