Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces eggs
- 2 cups spinach leaves
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized mixing bowl. Add the milk, salt, and pepper, and whisk until well combined.
Rinse the spinach leaves and pat them dry. Cut the cherry tomatoes in half and set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the spinach leaves and sauté for 1-2 minutes until wilted. Remove the spinach from the skillet and set aside.
Add the butter to the same skillet and let it melt over medium heat. Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet and let them sit for about 10 seconds to begin setting.
Using a spatula, gently stir the eggs, scraping the bottom of the skillet, to form soft folds. Avoid overmixing for a fluffy texture.
When the eggs are about halfway cooked, add the sautéed spinach and halved cherry tomatoes. Continue to gently fold until the eggs are fully cooked and the vegetables are evenly incorporated, about 1-2 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat. Serve the scramble hot, optionally garnished with some extra black pepper or a sprinkle of grated cheese.
