Ingredients:

1 short spray cooking spray oil
0.30g
1 cup spinach
30g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1 egg
54g
3 tbsp ricotta cheese
45g

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
- Wash and dry the spinach thoroughly. Roughly chop if the leaves are large.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk until well combined.
2. Cook the Spinach:
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and lightly coat with cooking spray oil.
- Add the spinach to the skillet. Stir frequently until the spinach wilts, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
3. Scramble the Egg:
- Once the spinach is wilted, push it to one side of the skillet.
- Pour the whisked egg into the other side of the skillet.
- Allow it to sit for a moment until it starts to set, then gently scramble the egg by pushing it around with a spatula. Incorporate the spinach into the egg as it cooks.
4. Add Ricotta:
- When the egg is mostly cooked but still slightly runny, add the ricotta cheese.
- Gently fold the ricotta into the eggs and spinach, allowing the cheese to warm and soften slightly.
5. Season:
- Season the scramble with a dash of salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir everything together to ensure an even distribution of seasoning and cheese.
6. Serve:
- Once the eggs are fully cooked to your liking and the ricotta is creamy and well-mixed, remove the skillet from heat.
- Serve immediately, alone or with a slice of toasted bread.

Tips:

- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, make sure to thaw and drain it well to avoid excess water.

- For a fluffier scramble, whisk the egg thoroughly before cooking.

- Add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture for extra creaminess.

- Feel free to add additional herbs like basil or thyme for an extra layer of flavor.

- Serve the scramble on whole-grain toast or alongside a fresh fruit salad for a complete meal.

With minimal ingredients and maximum flavor, this Spinach and Ricotta Scramble is an excellent go-to recipe for busy mornings or a quick nutritious meal at any time of the day. Enjoy the tender spinach and creamy ricotta, perfectly seasoned to delight your taste buds.
