Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 2 cups fresh spinach
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.25 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
Crack the eggs into a medium-sized bowl and whisk them thoroughly until the yolks and whites are fully combined. This will ensure your scrambled eggs are light and fluffy.
Add the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to the eggs and whisk again to incorporate the seasonings evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Ensure the skillet is well-coated with the oil to prevent the eggs from sticking.
Add the fresh spinach to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until the spinach is wilted and reduced in size.
Pour the seasoned eggs over the wilted spinach in the skillet. Let the eggs sit for about 30 seconds to start setting.
Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, pulling the set edges towards the center, letting the uncooked eggs flow to the edges.
Continue to cook the eggs, stirring softly from time to time, until they reach your desired consistency. This should take about 3-4 minutes.
Once the eggs are cooked through but still moist, remove the skillet from heat.
Serve the scrambled eggs with spinach immediately, garnished with additional black pepper if desired, and enjoy a nutritious Whole30 meal.
