20g
1 egg
50g
1 dash salt
0.40g
1 dash black pepper
1/10g
1/2 tbsp butter
7g

Instructions:

1. Preparation of Ingredients:
- Wash and chop the spinach.
- Finely dice the onion.
- Crack the egg into a small bowl and whisk until it’s well blended.
2. Cooking the Vegetables:
- 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.
- Once the butter has melted and starts to sizzle slightly, add the diced onions.
- Sauté the onions for about 2-3 minutes, or until they become translucent and soft.
3. Adding Spinach:
- Add the chopped spinach to the skillet with the onions.
- Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted slightly.
4. Cooking the Egg:
- 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.
5. Seasoning:
- 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.
6. Serving:
- 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.

In just a few minutes, you can enjoy a delicious and healthy Spinach and Onion Egg Scramble. It's a hearty dish that brings together simple ingredients to create a flavorful and satisfying meal. Perfect for breakfast, lunch, or dinner, this recipe is sure to become a favorite.
