Ingredients

Eggs:

  • 4 large

Fresh Spinach:

  • 2 cups chopped

Milk:

  • 2 tablespoons optional for creaminess

Olive Oil:

  • 1 tablespoon

Salt:

  • to taste

Black Pepper:

  • to taste

Fresh Herbs:

  • 1 tablespoon chopped (optional, such as parsley or chives)

Whole-Grain Toast:

  • 2 slices for serving

Instructions

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Wash and chop the spinach and herbs. Crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk them together with milk (if using), salt, and pepper until well combined.

Heat the Skillet:

  • In a non-stick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.

Cook the Spinach:

  • Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for 2-3 minutes until wilted.

Add the Eggs:

  • Pour the whisked eggs into the skillet over the cooked spinach. Allow the eggs to sit for a few moments until they start to set around the edges.

Scramble the Eggs:

  • Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, folding them over the spinach. Continue cooking until the eggs are softly scrambled but still slightly runny, about 3-4 minutes.

Finish and Serve:

  • Remove the skillet from heat and sprinkle with fresh herbs, if desired. Serve the scrambled eggs immediately with whole-grain toast on the side.
