Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the spinach thoroughly and set it aside to drain.
- Crack the eggs into a bowl, add a dash of salt, and whisk until well combined.
- Heat 1 tsp of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the spinach to the skillet and sauté until wilted, stirring occasionally. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Once the spinach is wilted, remove it from the skillet and set it aside.
- In the same skillet, over medium-low heat, pour the whisked eggs.
- Allow the eggs to sit without stirring for a few seconds until they just begin to set.
- Gently stir the eggs with a spatula, scraping the bottom of the skillet to form soft curds.
- Continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until the eggs are almost fully cooked but still slightly runny. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the sautéed spinach back into the skillet with the eggs.
- Sprinkle the grated parmesan cheese evenly over the eggs and spinach.
- Continue to cook, stirring gently, until the cheese is melted and the eggs are fully cooked but still moist. This should take an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle the red pepper flakes over the scrambled eggs and spinach.
- Stir to combine, ensuring the red pepper is evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
- Remove the skillet from the heat and transfer the scrambled eggs with spinach, parmesan, and red pepper to a serving plate.
- Enjoy your delicious and nutritious meal while hot.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach: Fresh spinach adds a vibrant flavor and is full of nutrients. Make sure to wash it thoroughly before using.
- Adjust red pepper to taste: If you're sensitive to spice, start with a smaller amount of red pepper and adjust to your preference.
- Use a non-stick pan: Using a non-stick pan helps to prevent the eggs from sticking and makes cleanup easier.
- Cook on medium-low heat: Cooking eggs on medium-low heat ensures they stay tender and creamy, avoiding overcooking.
- Stir gently: Stir the eggs gently with a spatula to create soft, fluffy curds without breaking them down too much.
- Serve immediately: Scrambled eggs are best enjoyed fresh and hot, so serve them as soon as they are cooked.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a delightful and healthy scrambled eggs dish that is perfect for any time of day. The combination of spinach, parmesan, and red pepper adds layers of flavor and nutrition, making it a satisfying choice for a quick and easy meal.
