Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash and chop the spinach.
- Finely dice the onion.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk until it’s well blended.
- Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
- Add the butter and let it melt, making sure it coats the bottom of the skillet evenly.

- Sauté the onions for about 2-3 minutes, or until they become translucent and soft.
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the onions.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted slightly.
- Reduce the heat to low-medium.
- Pour the whisked egg into the skillet with the spinach and onions.
- Allow the egg to set slightly around the edges, then gently stir with a spatula, pushing the egg from the edges toward the center. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the egg is fully cooked and no longer runny.
- Season the scramble with a dash of salt and a dash of black pepper to taste.
- Mix gently to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
- Remove the skillet from the heat.
- Plate the scramble immediately to prevent overcooking.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious Spinach and Onion Egg Scramble!
Tips:
- Make sure to thoroughly wash and dry the spinach to remove any dirt or grit.
- Chop the onions finely so they cook evenly and blend well with the eggs.
- Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the eggs from sticking and to make cleanup easier.
- Cook the onions on medium-low heat to ensure they become soft and slightly caramelized, enhancing their sweetness.
- Whisk the egg well before adding it to the pan to achieve a fluffier scramble.
- Add a splash of milk or cream to the egg mixture for an even creamier texture.
- Season the egg mixture with salt and pepper to taste before cooking, rather than after, to ensure even flavor distribution.
- Experiment by adding other ingredients like cheese, tomatoes, or mushrooms for extra flavor and texture.
