Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 cup cherry tomatoes
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Start by preparing the vegetables: Rinse the spinach thoroughly under cold water and pat it dry. Halve the cherry tomatoes. Finely chop the fresh parsley.
In a medium bowl, crack the eggs and add the milk. Whisk vigorously until the mixture is well combined and light, then season with salt and black pepper.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is shimmering, add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet and sauté them for about 2-3 minutes until they start to soften.
Add the spinach to the tomatoes in the skillet, gently stirring until the spinach is wilted, about another 2 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and pour the egg mixture over the spinach and tomatoes.
Let the eggs settle for a moment before stirring gently with a spatula. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are just set but still slightly runny, about 4-5 minutes.
Stir in the chopped parsley and cook for another minute until the eggs are fully cooked to your preference.
Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with any extra parsley if desired.
