Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 100 grams fresh spinach
- 50 grams feta cheese
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons milk
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl. Add the milk, salt, and black pepper. Beat the mixture with a whisk or fork until the eggs are well blended and slightly frothy.
Rinse the fresh spinach thoroughly under cold water and pat dry with a paper towel. Roughly chop the spinach into smaller pieces.
Crumble the feta cheese into small chunks and set aside.
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and melt the butter. Once the butter is fully melted and bubbling, add the chopped spinach.
Cook the spinach for about 1-2 minutes until wilted, stirring occasionally with a spatula.
Reduce the heat to medium-low, then pour the egg mixture over the wilted spinach in the skillet.
Allow the eggs to sit undisturbed for 30 seconds, then gently fold the eggs from the edges to the center using a spatula.
Continue to fold the eggs every few seconds until they are softly set and slightly runny in places.
Scatter the crumbled feta cheese over the eggs and gently stir to combine. Cook for another 1-2 minutes until the feta is heated through and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist.
Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy your scrambled eggs with spinach and feta as is or with toast on the side.
