Ingredients
- 4 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk (or a dairy-free substitute)
- 1 cup fresh spinach leaves, chopped
- 1/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons butter or olive oil
- Chopped fresh chives or green onions for garnish (optional)
Preparation
1. In a bowl, whisk the eggs and milk together until well combined. Season with a pinch of salt and some black pepper.
2. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the butter or olive oil and let it melt and coat the bottom of the pan.
3. Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and sauté for a couple of minutes until it wilts and becomes tender.
4. Pour the whisked egg mixture into the skillet with the spinach. Let it cook without stirring for a moment, and then gently push and fold the eggs with a spatula as they start to set.
5. When the eggs are mostly cooked but still slightly runny, sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese evenly over the eggs.
6. Continue to cook and gently stir the eggs until they reach your desired level of doneness. Be careful not to overcook; the eggs should be moist and slightly creamy.
7. Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
8. Serve your Scrambled Eggs with Spinach and Feta hot, garnished with chopped fresh chives or green onions if desired.
